I hate to see it too but Zen is right. Their path was set when they put and then kept Ryan Price at the wheel. They went away from corvering the TRENDS of our hobby and instead published the same things as there bigger rival, HVW. That was a battle they were not going to win. Then the whole BK Southeastern Dyno Day thing was just a way to quickly drive the last few nails onto the coffin by driving away a couple of key advertisers and their $$$. I think that if they would have stayed with covering the newest styles and tech of the VW hobby(German Look, Euro Look, Rat Rides, etc.), they would have kept their subscriber/advertising base and still be going strong today.

RIP VW TRENDS.
Hit the road Ryan Price.
