In 1992, Car and Driver put three sporty four-door sedans side by side, one built in America and two from Japan. The premise was simple: a practical family shape that still promises some fun from behind the wheel, made three different ways. For owners who still keep a sedan from that model year in the garage, it's a reminder that these cars were once judged directly against each other, with the American entry standing up to the imports. The testing and the verdict belong to Car and Driver, and their original comparison is the place to find them.
