![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I'm searching for early Lexus magazine articles, write up, reviews, comparisons etc from Car & Driver, Motor Trend or Road & Track (or all of em lol) dating back to the late 80's (1989 I'm guessing), &/or early 90's on the original Lexus LS400 (early 90's I'm looking for the same for the second generation 92 ES300). ![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
Does anyone have or know of the specific magazine (including month & year) that has this info in it? I want to try & get these issues off e-bay at some point, but I don't have enough info to go on. Or if anyone has them & are willing to part with them, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.

There are quite a few scans available, some which I have saved. There are PDFs/scans of each of these which have been shared on CL or other sites over the years, if you're interested.
LS 400:
November 1989 Automobile - comparison test
December 1989 Car and Driver - comparison test
February 1990 Motor Trend - comparison test
August 1990 Popular Mechanics - LS 400 test

Currently, some are nicely archived on the rival site: http://www.q45.org/media.html (Ironically the LS wins all the comparos there). There is http://www.lexls.com/info/ with other resources as well..
I used to have a C&D individual test for the LS 400, probably 92 or about, but it's long lost now. Anyhow, from the scans recently posted, I constructed the Popular Mechanics article:
