We've been able to confirm that both Truck Trend and Sport Compact Car magazines, august titles from the the sprawling Source Interlink automedia empire, have been killed by their publisher. Word is up to 115 employees were notified yesterday that their services would no longer be required.

They thought "Sport Compact Car" was a service?
Psssssshhhhhtttt.

About 8 or 9 years ago, SCC did an article on the new FWD Cougar and of course I picked up the "magazine" because I collect Cougar articles from 1983-up.

From word one the article spewed its vitriol against anything RWD, claiming to pretend anything that drives its rear wheels "doesn't exist". They went into further diatribes that, frankly, got old quickly. But oh yes, they still had their h8r mantra to uphold!

Well, guess what guys...now YOU don't exist! And (gasp!) RWD is back too!

Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya. Irony is such a bitch.

C ya.

i'll take sport compact car of hot compacts and imports any day of the week.  hci is nothing but the same old washed civics, silvias and 350z's over and over and over again.  i like scc for the variety of cars, fwd, awd, or rwd.  like the sweet audi on the front page of the website right now.  hci dont publish cool cars like that.  f*** hci, long live scc

Screw you Ford... I'm going to get a ranger riding a mustang to restore your focus on the expedition needed to escape from the edge of bankruptcy.
