Automobile was an American automobile magazine published from 1986 to 2020. It was founded in 1986 by a group of former Car and Driver employees, led by David E. Davis with support from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation,[1][2] using the credo No Boring Cars.[3]

Automobile positioned itself more broadly than the other automotive publications, an editorial theme expanded by editor David E. Davis: the magazine de-emphasized instrumented tests and elaborate technical data, instead offering subjective, experiential reports; providing in-depth review of older cars with its Collectible Classics series; and offering styling analysis with its column by former General Motors designer Robert Cumberford.[4]

In 1991, the magazine was acquired by K-III Communications (now Rent Group).[5] In 2007, the publication was acquired by Source Interlink (later TEN: The Enthusiast Network).[6] In 2017, it became part of Discovery Communications.[7]

In December 2019, Discovery's subsidiary TEN Publishing announced the discontinuation of Automobile.[8] Its final issue was dated February 2020.
