Corrado magazine article/review thread

[James. 9]

Thought I'd start a thread for articles/reviews from recent times or days gone by.

 

Feel free to add any you see. I'll add the ones from my other threads in good time.

 

All I do ask is please add a foot note as to where the article/review was harvested.

Good idea. I'll sticky this for now as press articles are popular on here :D

 

Evo Magazine did a Corrado buying guide, circa 2001, and Autocar did a Corrado VR6, Ford Probe 24V & Nissan 200SX group test IIRC? Anyone got these magazines?

[robrado974 1]

Thanks for posting this :) Storms a bargain indeed! I thought the colour coded grills were also unique to Storms?

Nice one Matt.

 

Here's the VR6 article from the same editon as the Storm:

 

NB: I like how the author refers to the 8v as a "ghost car".

I have the Autocar with the Corrado vs BMW 325i and the one with the Corrado vs the Probe and Calibra. I'll see if I can dig them out and scan them :)

Here's one for the Corrado 16v G60...

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Nice one, keep em coming folks.

 

On the Autocar test, how on earth did the VR6 get 4 out of 5 for braking? :lol:

 

Love this quote from the TopGear test...

 

And then there’s the VW. The inside is gloomtastic and the squarish exterior which can’t quite decide if it’s a hatch or a coupe never quite looked hip, even when it was brand new

 

Agreed on the interior but the exterior comments are a crock of schitt imo :D
