In oct. I renewed my Hot Rod subscription for 3 years.
2 months later this is attached to the cover my magazine.
"As fellow motorheads, we're thrilled to announce that starting
Spring 2024, we're charging ahead with plans to enrich your
Reading experience like never before.

Here's how it works; Instead of the conventional twelve issues
Per year, we're stuffing heaps more in-depth and high-quality
Content into four gorgeous collector-quality issue, worthy of any
Car fan's coffee table.

Plus! We invite you enjoy one free
Year of MotorTrrend+, where you'll
Stream exclusive shows, live motorsports,
Mecum Auction, and access to our entire
Digital magazine archive.
Value of $54.99

No strings, just unlimited fun.
Go to MotorTrend.com/HotRod/QuarterlyOffer
To register for free.

What are you waiting for? Ready set GO!
-The Hot Rod Crew"
I'm not real happy with quarterly instead of monthly issues, but we'll see.
I went to MotorTrend.com/HotRod/QuarterlyOffer and registered for this
"free year" I received a transaction number, but was never asked to create a
User name or password. When I go to MotorTrend+ and use my email address
As my user name (as per Motor Trend's customer dis-service) and click forgot
Password they say that they have sent an email with password reset instructions.
I've tried this 3 times and never have received any thing (yes I checked my spam)
I called Hot Rod, they are no help at all.
I spent the better part of a day back and forth with MT help chat, they know even less!
I asked for a phone number to call and told that they don't phone support.
HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE?

• Pearl White and Red color accents the lines on the vehicle well.
• Designed in similarly to Lexus NX and RX and Porsche/Jaguar rear end lights.

Mechanical:
• 2.5 4 cylinder and electric motor provides performance of a 6 cylinder with
Outstanding fuel economy.

• Auto AWD a brilliant touch to mechanical design of vehicle.

• Gas/Electric motor working in tandem and shifting on the fly is unnoticeable.

-Outstanding vehicle for its class
Non towing ability not an issue as it's a Hybrid.
If you need a tow vehicle I suggest looking at a non hybrid.

I never was really into cars until now... I finally have the money to buy a real car instead of just leasing a crappy one. I did all of my research online and then realized that www.motortrend.com is probably the best site out there for legit and unbiased car information.

It's almost unwatchable. The entire show has ads for other MT shows. They're showing something on a car and it's covered up by their ads.
