Long before dawn, near the side of the road in Scottsdale, Ariz., the cops came upon the parked car and its occupant, slumped drowsily over the wheel.

...will satisfy his compulsion "to do something really dangerous," and Judd loyally approves "the perfect crime" as "the true test of the superior intellect."

Everybody is getting into the merchandising act, moving up, down, and all around to tap a foreign-car import market that is expected to top 500,000 units this year. Even England's staid old Daimler, best known for the limousines...
...Britain's Austin-Healey Sprite, a junior edition of the popular Austin-Healey 100 sports car. It has seats for two, a convertible top, and a price tag suited to college-boy billfolds: $1,795. Another entry: the handsome AC Aceca hardtop coupé that seats two with plenty of luggage space, goes 106 m.p.h., and costs around...
