I think of Excellence as a glossy advertising rag. I had subscribed it for a few years, but did not find many useful articles in it. I was disappointed and did not renew.
Panorama is pretty useless also.
There is a British magazine I prefer: 911 and Porsche World.
But my favorite car magazine is not Porsche specific: Auto Motor und Sport from Germany - a thick, bi-weekly magazine with lots of different topics relating to automobiles, including serious testing and technical analysis of cars, components of cars, shops, and accessories. an average of about 200 pages that I read back to back every two weeks...

He says he doesn't know German, the principal says 'nothing'? Klein says 'sauerkraut', to which the principal says 'solid, be there at 9')

I currently (and will continue to) subscribe to both 911 & Porsche World and GT Purely Porsche, and I'd rank them as both being excellent, with a very slight preference to 911 & Porsche World.

The UK magazines are good (911 & Porsche world), but expensive here in the US ($9 per copy). At $120 US a year, it's a bit on the expensive side for a mag subscription...

I really enjoy 911 & Porsche World.
Excellence is maybe one small step below in my own opinion, but Bruce Anderson (did I recall the name right?) is great on tech stuff.
I've browsed GT Purely Porsche at the newsstand, but have not bought one yet...so my opionion is yet to be formed.
Trouble is, all these mags cost lots of $$ up here in the cold, white north!

I buy pretty much all of them, although I feel like I'm getting ripped off by GT Purely Porsche-too many glossy photos, not enough meat. And 9M magazine is painful to read, I won't be resubscribing.
