I got tired of the boy racer attitude that was building there, and had the same problems with their comparos that you note. Seems like they still haven't changed.
It USED to be a really good car mag, but as I have been editor of four different tech magazines, I can tell you that a lot of the quality of a mag comes from the vision and control of the whoever is driving the boat.
IMHO, when David E. Davis was editor C&D was usually very good. When Csaba Csere took over it began a real slide downhill. Csaba writes fine, but that doesn't mean he can edit and build a good mag.
The same is true of AUTOMOBILE. When Davis started it and ran it, it was good. When he sold it and wasn't in control, it definitely slipped.
Advertising is driving a lot of this. BMW probably takes very good care of the folks at C&D. Too bad. And so much for any editorial integrity.
