    325e Vs 190E Vs Cimarron (Pop Science Aug '85)

    Interesting that the domestic car (GM J car) was the only front driver.

      Cars were so slow back then (early '80s) that most ads quoted 0-50 mph. Seriously.:)

          it's kinda funny one of the editors chose the Caddy. Clearly, time hasn't been kind to that particular car. the 190e has a decent following but neither are E30s. Apparently, a 66/33 f/r weight split and 120hp aren't recipe's for long term success..
