 Sport Compact Car magazine does have the highest Miata content for a

newstand, monthly mag. Albeit, the Miata content is about every second or

third issue now that they have gone monthly, keep in mind the editor of SCC

mag owns a Miata.



  Looking through *some* of my back issues I found these exampels of a Miata

being "featured": Butch Brown's Miata, two Monster Miatas (that also

appeared on seperate covers), Bill Cardell's Miata, Andy Cork's (BSP) Miata,

Ricky Silverio's 93 Turbo, GReddy's tuner Miata, a big interview with Tom

Matano, a comparison of all the new two-seaters with the Miata coming out on

top, the M Coupe and comparison of the 90 vs 94.  There is even a recurring

department called "Miata Musings" that has covered a host of Miata topics

from the Speedster's debut in Chicago to coverage of the National events.



As for "heavy" on the Honda/Acura content, yes, I think the advertising in

the mag gives one that fealing; but remember SCC got it's start as a mostly

Honda mag. Lets not forget SCC has dedicated entire issues to the RX-7,

MR-2, and the Z car.     



SCC's Miata content fills in the months of waiting for the next Miata Mag to

come out.
