The 1980s car era had been brash and loud - but the 1990s that followed
was markedly more sober, stylish and sophisticated. A period when safety
and durability improved... even though insurance hikes, speed cameras
and the introduction of the separate theory test made driving more of a
challenge. Britpop bands battled in the charts, as CD players became the
ultimate in-car accessory. In the latest addition to this classic
series, Giles Chapman investigates the newly nostalgic motoring decade
of the 1990s, looking back in entertaining style over the induction of
such memorable icons as the Peugeot 106 and 206, Fiat Punto, Jaguar XJ,
Toyota RAV4, Subaru Impreza Turbo, Audi TT, TVR Chimaera and Ford Focus
MkI.
