- In a nutshell:
-
- 3000 VR-4: Ugly, ugly, and ugly. Did I forget to mention: it is U-G-L-Y?
- It gets my vote for grossest car of the '90's. Whoever did the
- styling on this thing should be killed.
-
- RX-7: Brutal. Some of the light weight is acheived by flimsy
- construction. Check out: Entire interior, door latches, inside
- of the wheel wells. This is a $34,000 car? If you drive on
- rough roads, make sure your health insurance covers rehabilitating
- bruised kidneys. Looks nice and aggressive, but the R1 has
- that cheesy, ugly spoiler. With the combo of stiff suspension
- and flimsy construction, it may well shake itself to pieces in
- a few years. These cars are not selling well, so you can
- probably name your price for one.
-
- 300ZX: Refined. Elegant. Best styling job that Japanese designers
- have ever done. Also, goes like stink, and handles well. Best
- interior too. Control placement is nearly perfect, and quality
- is high.
