In 1989, I was looking to buy a car for the 1st Mrs. Beard. On this list:

Taurus SHO
Honda Prelude 4WS
Mazda MX6-GT (Turbo), 4WS
Saab 900

The SAAB was a dog - drove like a truck!
The MX-6 had so many dials and buttons, it looked like the cockpit of a 747
The SHO looked like the inside of the space shuttle! And FORD would not give me a test drive! They were selling them $10K over sticker - no test drive with an offer

I bought the Prelude. Simplest of the 4WS systems (pure mechanical, least to go wrong), nice interior. Last of the flat designs.
