AutoWeek

AutoWeek is a weekly automobile magazine based in Detroit, Michigan. The content is divided between automotive news, vehicle reviews, and motorsports coverage.

Originally a biweekly motorsports newspaper named Competition Press, it began publishing news and reviews in the mid-60s. As vehicle reviews and automotive news became more of the publication's focus, its name was changed to Competition News & AutoWeek and it began to publish weekly. In the mid-1980s, under the direction of longtime editor and publisher Leon Mandel, changed its name to simply AutoWeek and transformed from a tabloid newspaper into a magazine.

Regarded automotive journalist Rich Ceppos is now the publisher of AutoWeek and Leon's son, Dutch Mandel, is the editor. To date, AutoWeek's Executive Editor is Kevin A. Wilson.

A television version of the magazine exists as well. It airs on SPEED Channel. AutoWeek is published by Crain Communications, which also publishes Automotive News. Crain claims AutoWeek has a weekly readership of approximately 350,000.
