I was shamed by my "trusting" an apparently accurate source a few days ago (see my earlier "Who stole my horsepower?" post), so to prove it really wasn't my fault--and because at least one of you asked--I scanned the book from which my numbers were derived.

[NOTE: I own no rights to this beyond owning the physical publication (and never having lost it or let my mom throw it out. What? I was a sophomore in high school when I bought it...).]



[For even MORE fun check out my scans of the table of contents! Diahatsu? Merkur? Sterling? YUGO?!?]

 

Some of those "exciting" cars back in 1989 aren't even on the radar screen anymore!

 

Fear not: Alfa Romeo's coming back! [And apparently with cars that will only self-combust 45 percent of the time!]

 

I always thought the Merkurs were cool. The Sterling was just a rebodied Honda Civic (but how can it be a "British" car that doesn't leak oil?), and there was a gorgeous (yes, I said that) Yugo convertible at Hershey a couple of years ago.

 

Nice! Thanks for posting that!
