Default Trip to Salvage yard looking for Seats

I headed out this past weekend specifically looking for leather seats which would fit my 1980. I was willing to take Mazda Miata or Fiero seats knowing the Mr. Mikes has leather covers for these.

I ended up not finding any Mazda Miata or Fiero seats (they were already gone) and didn't find any cars where both leather seats were acceptable to me. But along the way, I did measure several cars whose seats "looked" like they may fit. These cars tended to be the luxury small cars where space is a premium like the C3 corvette. The measurements are taken as the seat was mounted:

Audi A4: 20.5"w x 23.5"d x 37"h
Acura Integra: 20.5"w x 21"d x 36"h
Saab 9000: 19.5"w x 22"d x 36"h
VW Passat: 20"w x 21"d x 36"h (seat adj. arm may be issue)
Mercedes 230: 19.5"w x 21"d x 35"h
Acura RSX: 20.5"w x 21"d x 36"h
Dodge Stratus: 20"w x 20.5"d x 36"h
Acura TL: 20"w x 22.5"d x 36"h
Acura TSX: 21.5"w x 23"d x 36"h
Nissan Sentra: 20"w x 22"d x 37"h

Maybe this will be helpful to others:
