  1. This is a very interesting video in regards to American cars of the 1980s. It seems to me that most American cars in the 1980s were sluggish and bad quality, just like their 1970s counterparts. However, what makes American cars very “grey zoned” is when you mentioned Buick Regal sedans competing with Porsche/Lambo muscle cars, Chevy sedans purchased en mass by taxi cab companies, and no mention of bad quality of American pickup trucks…

  2. Fascinating! I’ve had that similar experience driving American cars too. My Saturn LS200 sedan was very economical for driving highways, but consumed a lot of gas driving on local roadways.
