Reception

Craig Sheeley reviewed The AADA Vehicle Guide in Space Gamer No. 71. [1] Sheeley commented that "The AADA Vehicle Guide is a prize. Grab it while it lasts; I predict that the shelves will empty of this very quickly." [1]

GeekDad wrote that The AADA Vehicle Guide had "SJG created the AADA, the American Autoduel Association, a real organization for Car Wars fans to join. It was inevitable that the AADA would release a car buyer's guide, right?" [3]
