I think they all have their place with their respective target audiences. However Total 911 would have to be my choice as its photography is stunning, layout is well thought out and overall I find the content more appealing to me personally.

Its run by some very strange people though!

He did say UK... not sure christophorus is made there... and even if some of the articles are of interest, it falls way below any of the one listed... more of a marketing channel for Porsche to their existing customers, imho of course...

True - it is not UK....it is also not a car mag. but rather one that promotes a "lifestyle" with Porsche branded doodads.

What about Automobile, isn't that UK?

It's not a Porsche mag - the only UK ones are those listed.

I find all three of them are pretty much the same - the "advertorials" on various tuners/specialists, the eulogising of all things Porsche (Cayenne's are obviously an abomination) the regurgitation of old stories and of course the endless buyer's guides. I just don't think there's enough content to justify three Porsche-specific publications in one country...or perhaps I've just been reading them for too long! So, I only buy one of them occasionally if there's an interesting-looking article.

IMHO.

I only bought GT once and they gave the 964 a slapping... never again...

Oh - I thought it was as the only copy I've ever seen had a huge Porsche emblem on the front but it must have been a special issue or the cover story.
