Default Old NA 944 Magazine reviews?

Hey guys, does anyone have any links to any old magazine reviews on the NA 944, or any reviews of any sort on it? I have found alot of stuff on the turbo and S2, but not much on the trusty old NA 8v.
Also, to kill two birds with one stone; have any of you driven a 190e 2.3 16v before? How does it compare with your NA 44? I am seriously considering both the NA 944 and the MB 190E 2.3 16v as a daily driver/auto-x machine.

Hers's one:

Old road test

I have a whole book the PO gave me, full of road tests and reviews from the early 80s, but I don't recall the title because I'm away from home right now. They're all pretty much full of the same information, though.

I have this 1982 Car and Driver review of the 'new' 944 with an article on Tony Lapine who 'bullied' up the 924 with the it's new body, engine, and drivetrain. Danno was going to scan it for me and post to his website but he never got around to it.

Brooklands books publishes compilations of magazine articles on various model cars.

Here's what they've done for the 924, 944 and 968: http://www.weissach.net/924-944-968_...rooklandsBooks
