I am looking for pointers to information about new cars. I have tried
to read the Consumers Reports reports, but it always seems like they
are several years out of date for the car(s) I am interested in. I
have also tried to read magazines like Car & Driver, but this has the
additional problem that they review the top of the line engine, which
is not what I usually want (for example, C&D has info on the Toyota
Celica GT-S but not the GT). Does anyone know where I can get some
reasonably up-to-date information about new cars? Please mail replies
to me as I don't read this group regularly. Thanks,
Gary Ansok

P.S. If you want to make specific recommendations, please do; I'm
looking mostly at sporty cars (around $12K). The main ones
on my list so far are:
Subaru XT Coupe
Toyota Celica
Honda Prelude (if I can find one not $2K over list)
Nissan 200SX
I'm driving a '74 Mustang II whose repair bills seem to be
growing geometrically since I passed 120K miles; and since I'm
out of school now, I think I can afford my first new car.
