Pano vs Roundel

[ccm911]

A friend of mine dropped off a few issues of Roundel, the BMWCCA magazine.  After reading three pages, my thought was, "Why does Pano suck so bad?". 

The Roundel made owning a BMW so much fun!!  I mean, the Pano seems to be nothing but a glorified sales brochure for the latest P-Car models, along with some mind numbing esoteric articles about the same race cars, issue-after-issue.  On the other hand, Roundel had articles about older BMWs, How-To sections, and like four full pages of Tech Questions.  I loved it so much that I went ahead and joined the club.  Oh, and I also saw Nicole Dymant mentioned in the letters section, for having turned four BMWs past the 200K mark!

Which leads me to ask - Does Porsche Panorama suck by design?  I have met so many cool folks in the Porsche club that it seems disturbing that this is the best we could do.

Am I the only one that thinks this way?
