Just got the first issue of Benzo Magazine
I must say, it is a fantastic magazine. Much better than Mercedes Enthusiast and the Star which are geared towards the older Mercedes-Benz owner. Benzo is geared for somebody in their 20's-30's.
Great articles, especially the C32 AMG review
. The only thing I didn't like was that for every one page of actual content, there were five pages of advertisements, on the other hand, the good thing is that most of the advertisements were by Kleemann, Brabus, Lorinser, etc. so they were all Mercedes-Benz related.
Great magazine, I highly reccomend this over Mercedes Enthusiast.

I was hoping for a feature on how to use an unused fuse to recharge pacemaker batteries, a story on the best way to use cargo nets to secure the walker and a DIY article on how to wire the signals so that the left turn signal is always on.

where did you find that one?
Is it at the same places I would find MB Enthusiast? Another English publication? I was getting the MB mag at Grand Central in NYC. Any help on where I could find it would be much appreciated. If you could somehow post the C32 article I would much appreciate it.

The magazine is an American publication, I doubt it is available at any news stands. You can order a subscription online at www.benzomagazine.com

seems much better than MB Enthusiast
I checked out the articles they had but of course, the article on page 60 was no there. The other articles were great and I think Im gonna subscribe. They are bi-monthly which is somewhat of a drag but perhaps that will change as time goes on. Thanks again for the link.

When you see the amount of content in this magazine, you will understand why it is a bi-monthly publication, lol.
This magazine is thick.

Woooo Hoooo!!!!! It's out, eh??? Coolio!! I can't wait to see it. I really like Merc Enthusiast, and have high recommendations for Benzo. I have called Borders and Barnes and Noble, and they don't have it. Is it because I'm on the west coast that it just hasn't hit here yet, or what? Any ideas?

It's such a new magazine, that I highly doubt you will ever find it at a news stand for atleast a year or two until the magazine gets larger. Right now the primary way of getting it, is if you subscribe.

RTFMC (read the * magazine cover) - it says something like "PROMO02" for month and year. It's the promotion issue, and not a "real" issue. It's gonna be a while until the initial issue, I think.
It's a decent rag, but is way too caught up in itself on the "life" section. GQ, it's not. Its title should be changed to "Benzo Staten Island" or "Benzo North Jersey" for its high guido factor. Tony Soprano would be proud.
Think I could get a subscription for only the car section?
