Worked for me...

Basically was an article with a letter from Ryan Price, editor of VW
Trends, saying that February 2005 will be the final issue.

Could be real, could be made up...who knows, although its not very
surprising considering the poor quality of the mag.

No need to Doubt Randy Carlson from Old Bug.....
He may have some strange ideas when it comes to cars :-) , but he's a
straight shooter..

The link works fine but it's in the `Rants' section and I forgot that you
have to be registered and logged in to see that forum.

Here's another thread in the general forum, no login required:

.............The same information has been posted on Common Gear but they're
saying that March will be the last issue.

Yes it is alive. My guess is that with the death of Trends they will probably get more readers.

A magazine I highly recommend is the UK's VolksWorld. While it is more expensive, it is published in a bigger format in
full color. It really is good. The place I subscribe to it that I recommend is here.

You'd have to live in a cave not to have seen this one coming.
Magazines are little more than a reflection of their editor. In the
case of Ryan Price, who repeatedly showed his readers how little he
knew about Volkswagens, grammar and the English language in general, it
was pretty obvious the job was a gimme rather than a position won on
merit.
