Jim, what do you know about his leaving C&D?

I hadn't heard that.
Where did you see it?

I grew up on C&D. They've made some changes lately that I didn't care for. Maybe I don't like change. Anyway, Isn't Csabe a gun lover (Glock)?

Isn't his name pronounced completely different from how it looks, like Chubby Cheeba or something?

Chuba Chedda (like the cheese)
Copy of an e-mail I got from him this week:
As you may have heard, I left Car and Driver at the end of 2008. My 28 years with the magazine—nearly 16 as its Editor-in-Chief—was very stimulating and tremendously rewarding. But now it’s time to do something else.
I don’t know what that is, and I plan to be a slacker for at least a couple of months. But I have too strong a connection with the automotive business to leave it behind. So don’t be surprised if I turn up again somewhere, somehow.
Take care and have a great year.
Csaba Csere
He hasn't said anything about why he left.

Thanks for sharing Jim. I'll miss him when I read C&D. Hopefully he'll turn some other magazine around and give us something else good to read. Who knows, maybe he and Brock Yates will patch things up and turn up together somewhere.

Csaba Csere and Jim Scouten on Car and Driver. I always read Csaba's reviews when I received the magazine before I knew about the show. After subscribing to Digital Cable after C&D was no longer aired, it was nice to be able to sit down, and watch good informational TV, especially in the interest of the shooting sports. Nice to see you (and John) every Wednesday night, and good to hear Csaba's doing well.

I've been a subscriber since 1970! C&D and R&T would not be a match made in heaven. I'm sure David E Davis would take him back in a heartbeat.

the entire magazine industry is in the dumps
Heck, Natty Geo just "early retired" another bunch of 35-45 year olds
funny thing, all the VPs that do so much are still there

Just got my G&A for the month. It seemed a lot thinner than prior copies.
It's getting tough out there for the print guys.

Most of the magazines cut the subscriber base to reduce the production & shipping costs and tried to increase the newsstand & advertising rate base
Also people renew with a publishers clearing house deal where in, the magazines don't get the subscription profit for 2 years and only if the reader re subscribes directly
now the advertisers are cutting back on ad budgets and the magazines don't have the subscriber base to charge higher rates
It's a vicious cycle
and web content fills a lot of reader time with non delayed information
