Car and Driver Classic - 1st gen

I didn't see this posted anywhere. Kind of a cool video on the 1st gen. The quality of the vid isn't the greatest, unfortunately.

I dunno-
bit lame they used an SE to talk about the "big intro" and early history. Would have been more interesting with an SA. You'd think with C&D's resources that would be easy to find?

Well it's just a quicky magazine show not a full spread. They used what was on the lot.

This was when you could by them new. Drool.. row after row of them.

I would love to get an exhaust system that makes 2 to 3 times more power than the car came stock with.

umm not exactly. This was probably made in the mid to late 90s with bad video quality making it look older. They talked about ceased production in 95 because the cost was approaching $40k and how the Rx08 was to be release in 2003.

Nice, it definitely put a smile on my face.

If the quality were better I'd actually bother ripping that from c*ntube..
