Thumbs down Just Got Motor Trend Issue - No Z on Cover!

I saw the new MT in the grocery store before I came home and it had the Z on the cover. I then come home to find my issue does not have it on the cover. Instead the story of Mario is on the cover. What's up with that??

Someone earlier said that sometimes Motortrend has a different cover for subscribers vs. stores..

Yes, their website has the Z cover and a pic of Mario w/exotics next to it. Marketing decision? Mario sells more MTs with him on the cover in certain areas of the country? Not unheard of, anyone else have any examples?

motor trend usually has different covers for the subscibers and others. usually the car of the year issues have different covers.
