Features
• Super car revival - enter the General - We first told you about the 'Super Commodore' months ago, but nobody believed us. We were right weren't we! GM Holden is producing a "paperwork racer" for Brock and others - but it's the street going sister car which evokes memories of the "Supercar Seventies". Staff.
• Hazy Laser - Who really did put the most into the design of the new Laser/Mazda 323 front wheel drive car? Faced with marketing a similar model some six months after the original has been launched, what could Ford do to ensure the Laser's success and individuality? Paul Harrington examines both questions and comes up with plenty more!
• Fire in the future - Renault's superb new Fuego coupe is coming to Australia, though not for a while. Paul Harrington has driven the car and says it is well worth the wait.
• Car buying - screwing the system! - Having previously examined the psychological methods used by some to sell cars, Ron Dunn ha sinvestigated ways you can fight back!
• French horn - driving the Alpines - Alpine music of a sort Paul Harrington - lost deep in France - will not forget in a hurry. (Renault Alpine 310, R5)
• 505 the Lion's pride - We drive an Australian specification Peugeot 505. Paul Harrington.
• Ciao - Cooking with Alfa! - Paul Harrington takes to the road in the complete range of Alfa Romeos for three days. An unforgettable experience.
On Trial
• Alloy head Falcon - is it better? We test the new Alloy-headed Ford Falcon in full and compare it with its predecessor. Staff.
• Stay of execution - A Corolla that handles! Toyota has snuck one in and produced a car that actually goes around corners. Paul Harrington.
• DeVille Rides Out - The new WB Holden Statesman is better than it looks - which isn't too hard! David Segal.
