Autoblog is reporting that Sport Compact Car is closing its doors. Is this a sign of things to come? Will we see more automotive media outlets also fall by the wayside thanks to the global financial mess? Our very own Scott Oldham and Josh Jacquot spent time at SCC, so this must hit a bit too close to home.
Full story here and here.

I hope Super Street sticks around. My car was featured in that one.
I wonder what happens to everyone's subscriptions.

When my subscription to MPH magazine was terminated (I still have every issue of it) they offered me a different magazine to switch to or they'd give me a pro-rated refund. I chose the latter.
It makes me really sad that SCC was cancelled. It was one of the few small displacement engine magazines that you didn't have to worry about opening up at Barnes & Noble, as it didn't have half naked women laying across a Supra or Evo.

I completely agree as SCC was one of my favorite aftermarket car mags along with Honda Tuning. Both mags offered/offer great information regarding car parts that the average "enthusiast" could relate to. Both bascially cater to import enthusiasts that actually care about upgrading the performance of their cars without the "rice" in other "performance" magazines.

Never understood how any car mag existed after the internet arrived.

This tuner mag failed to display half naked women? No wonder it failed.

it was bound to happen. the new guys screwed it up big time. as far as i am concerned, it was gone when the noobs took over. i feel bad for those who built the magazine up and had to watch the noobs run it to the ground, though...
