What, more specifically, would you guys like to see changed about Panorama. That is, if you were in charge, what changes would you make? (I have no connection or loyalty to anyone at the magazine, but I am starting to write more content for the book, and would love to know what you'd like to see more or less of. Particularly since I just got the new issue in the mail and it's the worst ever. A third of it is an ad for the "new" Cayman, a third of it is letters from people about their current Caymans, and a third of it is an ad for the 2009 Parade in Keystone. I glanced through it and wham - right in the circular file.)

Specifically:

1) How would you change the subject of the content. More articles about older cars? More racing coverage? More modified cars? More technical and "how to" articles? Maybe articles about great driving routes? Articles about influential or interesting Porsche-related people? What would YOU like to se when you open the next issue?

2) What do you think of the "tone" of the writing? (I have heard some people say it is not critical enough - too fawning - so they don't really "learn" anything about the subject. Everything reads like an advertisement.) Is the text too corporate and dry? Or do you like the writing, but just don't like the subjects?

3) A number of people mentioned how great the BMWCCA's Roundel magazine is by comparison. Why, exactly, is it better?

Any other suggestions? If everyone in the country thinks the magazine stinks, then maybe with everyone's input we can slowly start to make some changes, no matter whop is in charge.
