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,<ref name=grimes2011>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name=sfgate2011>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Dead linkTemplate:Cbignore</ref> using the credo No Boring Cars.<ref name="insideline.com01">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
