It seems that their attitude has finally gone to "For those who have money
to burn, here's a Leica ____________". But their readership no doubt feels
the same way.

in  practical terms, however, the percentage of advertising revenue from 
leica  is probably de minimus. from purely advertising  perspective, it
would  more likely be in the magazine's interest to steer readers away from
the M8  towards the slew of me-too 
cameras that fill the advertising pages, or  best yet, to ignore the M8
completely.

Several years ago, if POP-P ran any tests on Leica, it mostly crowed  about 
the steep prices, but now that other badges have attained these lofty  price

levels, that criticism has waned.
 
I've found their reviews to be pretty balanced in the past three years or
so.
