Default Car and Driver April 1988: Gee Force 56k Die!

I pulled these off a post from mr2faq.com. A member there had bought a Car and Driver magazine that showed a comparsion between the Fiero, the MR2 and the Crx. Enjoy!

You have to wonder what they would have thought had their tester had a C5 under the hood (had such a thing existed at the time).

for CRX superlove!

I got a chance to drive a friend's 914-6 during the vintage weekend this summer at Road America and it was a blast to drive! Too bad those things are so hard to work on.

That $80,000 BMW 750il on the cover probably sells for under $4000 today. Where as the $10,000 dollar CRX still gets $3000 to $4000 for a nice one.

Thanks alot for posting that. The article was very interesting. Some points I disagreed with on all of the models but the spinning inner wheel when doing sharp turns in my CRX has got me a few times.
