Article from '89 Popular Science and '88 Popular Mechanics
Anyone interested in seeing them? I'll scan and host them in a few if I can find a good host.

The Popular Mechanics article gave the FC a full size pic for the article headliner but only gave it a single sentence in the article. Pretty sad, considering the reviews on all the other cars after having given it the first page.

The Popular Sci article gives a little more love

I'll post the pop sci one first. The first two pages are relevant but I posted the whole article. Hope these work

And here's the other article. Sorry I used the scanner tool to resize on this one and it didn't turn out too well.











another article on the next page I thought was interesting

…but that added excitment comes at the expense of some ease of shifting in the manual-transmission version.
Huh.. I wonder why they said that..

Cool articles though! ^_^
