Q
Why did you change your name from Motorland to VIA?
A
As our magazine evolved beyond its car-oriented roots, the title Motorland became outdated. As one
reader put it: "I picture this guy in a 1932 Oldsmobile with an open top, goggles, and a white
cap wearing a duster."
We wanted a name that suggested today's kind of travel-by jet plane and cruise ship, by walking shoe
and ten-speed, by rickshaw and dugout canoe, as well as by car. We came up with VIA
(pronounced VEE-uh), which means "the way" or "by way of"—a perfect fit for a magazine that is
"the way" to learn more about travel.
