In 1982, AMC was willing to try anything to set their cars apart. That must be why they dumped a new Spirit into the water to prove their car, like any other, will rust in 30 feet of salt water. More »

That's sort of how the mid-Malaise Era went; you could opt to swap your rapidly-eroding dollars for the already obsolete Chevrolet Chevette, or for a much larger car made by an obviously doomed manufacturer. More »

It's also good to have a couple of American cars, which I really can't use very often in this series because the stuff out of Detroit is too simple and parts obtainment is too easy to make for true hell.
