What's better Motor Trend, or Car and Driver?

I'm donig my yearly magazine subscriptions. Notice there is no debate on Maxim and Stuff. I have to get both of them. My question is, what's better motor trend, or car and driver? Both are pretty good magazines, I am thinking about ordering one for the year. I dont need both do I? What is the difference with the two? Motor Trend is only $10 for 12 and Car and Driver is $12 for a year. I may just get them both, or I may just get motor trend. Let me know what you think of the two magazines. Maybe I'll get both for $22 can't go wrong.
Thanks, Shane

IMO Motor Trend seems to have info before most other auto mags out there, I'd go with that.

When Motor Trend called me a few weeks ago to have me renew my subscribtion over the phone, I told them I wouldn't do it. The guy asked me why. I told him that after they chose that goofy Prius as their 'car of the year', I had lost faith in them to make a valid decision. I said that they were obviously influenced by the number of pages of paid advertising by Japanese car makers, and that if I wanted to read about foreign cars I'd buy Road and Track.
So...I re-upped my subscribtion to Hot Rod instead.

I prefer MT to C&D, but I prefer Autoweek to those other two. I also take four Mustang mags. I've looked for a good truck mag but can't find one. Anyone have a suggestion?
