Tips on reading this list:The letter “c”under “Page” indicates the car is on the magazine cover. The letter"a" under "Page" (with or without a starting page number)indicates it is an interesting article, not a new car road test. All of theother entries are specific road tests of the specified model. Articles and roadtests vary in quality and length. I have been a dealer in back issue carmagazines for decades and developed these research lists as I helped customersfind those exact issues with their specific cars.
