New MCG - With Girl on Cover -AGAIN!

[doctorpimp]

I just received my new MCG in the mail, and I was happy to see a girl on the cover again!
I hadn't bought an issue of MCG since the mid '90s, back then they always had acover model along with the cars etc on the cover.  I started buying the magazine again last summer after getting back into the hobby, I remarked at the time that they used to have girls on the cover but thought they went the way of the Snap-On calendar girls etc.
Glad to see her back

Good marketing!

I bought it last week & thought she was pretty nice looking, but really wanted it to read & see the Mopars destroyed in New Orleans by Katrina. Some were under that contaminated water for weeks & the owners couldn't get to them for months. 

The cover shot definitely gets your attention. I know my 2 Chebby friends were looking through the magazine in my truck over the weekend at Carlisle, & they never looked before.

It will take more than some pretty girls on the cover to fix most of my Chebby friends

When I got home Monday I almost drop to the floor when I saw my wife reading the MCG magazine - I didnt say a word I just thought: "WTF" is this world coming too? It turns out that my wife was trying to figure out if the girl in the cover was someone she knew. My wife was trying to find out the name of the girl in the cover. She might be my brother in laws old girl friend. If her name is Christine, then it has to be her! Could'nt find any info on the magazine cover or other parts of the magazine on the models name - oh well. I think it said that she was from New Jersey, so that's close by so it could possibly be - small world.  10-4! Nice to see girls in the cover!

Not in my book.

It is something they do to increase sales of course but is a grasp for the market share they are loosing to the other Mopar magazines. The reason being the others are REAL magazines not a glorified auto trader dedicated to Mopars.

MCG sucks and I give them one year before folding.

There is nothing wrong with cars and girls, I love both of them!  Remember AUTOBUFF?  Had a big fine collection, but a so-called friend stole all but one when he moved years ago.  The one he didn't get had the green 71 Challenger 440-six pac and I can't even find it anymore!  aint that the way it goes.

I'll take that bet.  Hell, the much vaunted Mopar Muscle has nothing going for it but good photographers and Steve Dulchich.  The mighty mighty Primedia can't even afford factcheckers.  Ever heard of a Tor-red Dodge?  Or how about the "fact" that Tor-red isn't orange?  Those are just the two that I remember off the top of my head from the last issue but there were others and they seem to have them each issue.
Most issues of that rag are half catalog offerings or new product press clips.  Very little as far as actual car features or tech articles especially after you remove the "add a power chip to your diesel Ram" articles.  The new cars may be here to stay but if I wanted to read about them, I'd pick up Car and Driver or Motor Trend.
There you see, they are all junk in one way or another.  Somebody get on here now and rag about Mopar Action with their stupid attempts to be funny or constant flipping through the mag to finsih the chopped up articles.

I absolutely hate the way that Mopar Action continues almost every article in the back pages.  It's a cheap attempt to spread the adverts around and it's irritating.
Whatever happens to MCG, I'm glad that there's a girl there.  It seemed that only the Import mags wanted to tie in hot girls with cars...what a concept

On page 7 it states the girl's name is Coral.

Ok please forgive my ignorance.  What is MCG Magazine?

[Chris G.]

That girl was smoking. Our very own Mod (6T9) was the only guy who snagged a kiss on the cheek when he went to get his award. I missed the shot, but he got a nice ovation.

Nope..they have lasted awhile..and adding boobs will prolong the life of MCG.

However I am confident they are a second rate magazine.

MCG will be around when all of the others are distant memories. They are true mopar guys, not transplanted magazine guys. I trust what I read in MCG. Can't say that about the other mags. I subscribe to MCG and MM both, but prefer MCG hands down.

Yup, and they have been through a few Mopar mags already. I still miss Hi-Performance Mopar mag though. Mopar Muscle is fluff. Mopar Action is a good one, and now that I think of it, I think my subscription ran out. 

MCG is a very small company. They play their cards well. They attend all the big shows, and basically just do articles on the cars that attend. No need to fly someone out to do a story, just get it at a show you are selling your product at. You win twice. They have cool shirts, hot women running the stands at shows and although Rob Wolfe is always ignoring the average Mopar, he still know his s*#t big time.

Damn bro that brings back mammories........ahem......memories!

Ah yes she was sweet...and willing as well.   Everyone else going up was kinda bashful and looked like she was willing to accept a bit of "lovin"
I got called & made my move
Nearly shit my pants afterward (could have been something else as well...)but was well worth it

Thanks for the reminder......

Note to self......never look at this topic when wifey is around

PS---still didnt get my issue yet, as usual!

Oooo la la, wanna play Panzer Commander & Swedish milk-maid?

[grek]

I subscribe to MCG, MM, and MA and look forward to getting them each month.  I know everyone has their opinion and there are pros and cons to all of them however it's Mopar Only Reading.  What more could anyone ask for more? 

I spoke to the MCG staff and suggested to them that they need to provide more than short sleeve shirts.  I suggested long sleeve shirts and they told me their looking into some other things however I'm still waiting.

Who are we kiddin?  Every magazine needs a hot girl on the cover.

BINGO!

She doesn't look half bad, but I am not a tattoo kind of guy. That just really turns me off

I don't think anybody said they wanted to marry her...if you catch my drift.

Thanks, that puts the mystery to bed.
