"Unlike numerous so-called 2+2s, the 928's rear seats will accommodate a pair of adults"
Brock Yates must have been friends with some very short people
On that note, in case anyone wasn't aware. Brock Yates removed himself from the public eye in the last couple of years due to his battle with Alzheimers:

I encourage every "car guy" to read his book Cannonball! - yes, it contains 928 content:

Thanks for sharing, I grew up on LJK Setright articles in CAR magazine, very flowery wording but knew his stuff. I never agreed with him that his Honda was the best handling car made at the time though.

Am I the only person here who did not understand what they were talking about in a large part of this article? I enjoyed reading it but, Wow, I felt even more ignorant as a result!

Bill, and peeps
Here is the front page, preface to the C&D article. I've never posted it on FB, but someone found the link then did.
Viewing via my website (and not downloadable, sorry)
has been published for some time.

Yes, an obtuse writing style with lots of inside jokes that were lost on me too. Still you could tell these guys appreciated the car.
