i don't know that the US mags will ever get it. at least not until there is a HUGE precense of GL's or they get it from the inside (read: Kathy going GL). the mags have lived off of the cal and resto looks for literally decades now and can keep going on it until their readership keels over. people get stuck in their ways after their 20's and the VW community as a whole in the US is still stuck there.
now don't get me wrong. i am actually one of those people that love GL and still appreciate cal and resto (i would own a resto oval in a minute, but my money can only go one place at this time and given only one choice it is going to be GL). but nonetheless, the look is old and has been done a million times. unless the US finds a new look (like GL) the hobby will eventually die off to a rarity. it has happened to many styles before.
all that or a new magazine will have to come out to support our views. it is a same that business sucks or i would consider it more.
