The best car of the '80's was the 1988 Lamborghini Countash.

In a related story, I saw a white 4 door chevette today while driving my stock 1980 GMC 3/4 ton High Sierra work truck. I had to restrain myself from swerving into its path and putting it out of its misery.

Cripes, when growing up my parents owned two of the damn things. A 78 and an 80. GM actually made a diesel Chevette.

Looking back it is hard to imagine how the Big 3 became THAT complacent to produce such garbage.

These were my 80's Honda. Technically the first one is a 1979 model. It was the coolest car to drive. Had a 4 speed manual and came in "copper". My dad shit in his pants when he found out how much I paid for it. The second Honda was 1986. More utilitarian. Got great mileage.

dad shit in a good way or a bad way? Like was it cheap or expensive?

The problem with Eagle is they partnered with companies like Chrysler and Mitsubishi to produce garbage like this:

And this:

To be fair, they also made this. Which is pretty cool.

Lancia Delta or Ferrari F40 are icons.

 

[IronWing]

Escort + Accord + Corolla + Caravan = 90% 80s market

Actually, Mitsubishi made it. Eagle just slapped a badge on it.

Don't forget:

:thumbsdown: God that looks dated. The paint doesn't even match from the front end to the doors.

 

[Hopeless]

Actually, Mitsubishi made it. Eagle just slapped a badge on it.

There was also the Plymouth Laser.

I loved the 80's honda accords. I had a 82, 83 and 88. they were good cars. they got great gas mileage.

To be honest I'm actually unfamiliar with the details in particular, but you mentioning Eagle, Chrysler, and Mitsubishi as partners reminded me of Eagle Talon, Plymouth Laser, and Mitsubishi Eclipse from DSM.

LOL I remember the sales pitch "buy one get one free' if you got a Lincoln or Cadillac you got a free yugo.

the Chevette:

My Dad had one of those for a while, as his going-to-work car. For a kid it wasn't a bad car, but I don't remember my Mom EVER being in that car. She drove the Tempo:

 

[monkeydelmagico]

Had me one of these:

Then got one of these

The 80's were a revelation that motoring bliss could be bought for chump change
