I have a copy but the magazine is in my parents house (tucson im in peoria,) and I dont have a scanner.

Basically they said great things about the car, especially the SC400, and low 15 second ets were respectable in those times. The nakamichi sound system back then was mind boggling for a stocker, even today im more then impressed.

They also said great things about the cars fit and finish overall this car got rave reviews. This was for the SC400 back in 1992, it also made it into the top ten cars that year.

I dont have any mags about the sc300.

It actually won Motor Trend Magazine " Import Car Of The Year" in 1992. Go to your local library and ask to see the archived magazines for motortrend. You might have to go to a Main library in a big city, or try the internet. Good Luck.

I have 9 -10 magazines in which the SC was a cover shot or was one of the major reviewed cars, mostly the sc400 though. I don't feel like going through my 1,000's of car mags to look for them though and scan them b/c i'm lazy, hah. I also have a Motor Trend in which the SC400 was the import car of the year back in 1992. Looking back at the early 90's mags the car to have back then seemed to be the 300zx TT, it made more cover shots than any other car.

That mag is worth its weight in gold IMO. That is "The One" Neo.

Technically you can fit 5, There are only seat belts for 4, but you could always squeeze someone in the middle of the rear bench, it is a seat technically. I've never put more than 4, and even that only once because it was an emergency.

Handling (suspension) was the worse factor in the reviews as a consensus.

Then on the second day, he created "Daizen".....
