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are several years out of date for the car(s) I am interested in.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.
