Now, on to business.
I recently got hold of TopGear Malaysia, January 2010, and was quite moved to notice that the price was not the usual 10 Rinngit, but 12.50 (for Sabah &Sarawak current price is now 15 Ringgit.
What could possibly bring the price of TopGear up by RM 2.50? Seriously, that's quite a lot to handle when you're so used to forking out 10 Ringgit a month to buy only the best magazine available for petrolheads.
Well, the premium price may be due to the cool 2010 SuperCar Calendar that you get with your January TopGear, but still, I have reasons to doubt that.
I checked, and I found out that the previous Jan '09 issue of TopGear also comes with the same sort of calendar (2009), but the price still remained at RM10. Hmmmm...
Is this the end of the times when you and me could gladly just hand out a red bill in exchange for TopGear? There's only one way to find out; wait for TopGear Feb, and check the price.
This could possibly be quite a a bad start to 2010 for those guys out there who treasure their TopGear magazines as much, if not more than their lives; those guys who are happy parting with 'only' RM10 (a relative term) per month in exchange for TopGear, which they openly know, but are reluctant to admit, is worth a lot more than 10 Ringgit, quality-wise.
Donald Cheah, if by any chance you are reading this, we're all panicking here.
Got some info regarding this issue? Don't hesitate to share it here, on the Axiom.
