Melee in his column Melee on the move, at Cars.My revealed that he is going to wind down the magazine he has been running for 8 years. I have been a fan of Cars.My mainly because of its more domestic reviews on cars that are more relevant to local car industry. Unlike some other popular car magazines which feature more reviews or articles published by their sister companies abroad.
Mel says that the readership of his magazine is down despite good efforts he and his crew have consistently putting in. Alas, Magazine is not like cigarettes or alcohol where people can get addicted to it. Most people would rather go for a movie for their pass time rather than reading. More so, information on cars and other stuffs are readily available through Internet nowadays, so why bother buying a car magazine?
The decision for Mel to go on line may be is a timely one. Hopefully, good efforts by true car enthusiasts like Mel and his pals will still get appreciated by the fans. Otherwise we may one day reading car magazines from overseas which may not tune to the our local situation.
