August 04, 2007 - Combining love of the road less traveled with the joy of automotive excellence, the latest issue of Automotive Traveler, the Internet’s leading interactive resource for automotive adventure travel, has published issue three at
automotivetraveler.com.
In the August issue cover story, Automotive Traveler ventures to Moab, Utah to take part in Volkswagen’s Touareg Adventure, an off-road event for Touareg owners. It clearly illustrates that the Touareg has the chops to venture where other luxury SUVs would be hard-pressed to follow. With its starring role in the new Matt Damon movie The Bourne Ultimatum, opening in theaters today nationwide, the Touareg’s profile is certain to continue to rise.
Other features in this month’s Automotive Traveler include food and travel writer Bob Ecker’s tour of wine country micro breweries in a BMW Z4 roadster, Automotive Traveler’s resident Road Warrior Cindy-Lou Dale’s travels to Malawi in an Indian-built Tata, Editorial Director Rich Truesdell’s top down tour of Scotland in a Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet, blogger Sheila Scarborough’s North Carolina road trip in the heart of NASCAR nation, and Road Test Editor Mark Elias’ visit to the Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama to drive the entire Porsche range, including the 911 Turbo and GT3.
Automotive Traveler has been carefully designed to bring the pleasure of magazine reading experience to the computer screen. It’s interactive, meaning that active links on almost every page can transport the reader to additional information on a wide rage of subjects and topics. And Automotive Traveler seems to be hitting on all cylinders. Here’s what Dr. Samir Husni, better known as Mr. Magazine, had to say about Automotive Traveler in his weekly blog on new magazines at mrmagazine.com.
“I never understood why magazine publishers continue to try to fit a horizontal space on a vertical medium. It is just not easy on the eyes. I have said it before and I will continue to say it, we do not have a problem with any of our platforms…we have a problem with what we are trying to put in and on them… Using the right dimensions, the right typography and the right movement makes Automotive Traveler a welcomed addition to the world of on-line media.”
