It was always cool to me, man. It was always cool.

On the flip side, those cars existed when I was a little tyke. I grew up in the 80s and this is probably why I have such a thing for cars that look like the boxes they came in. Rabbits, A2 Golfs, VW Foxes, B12 Sentras, pre-Impreza Subarus...

Heck, a first generation Cavalier with white letter tires looks pretty sweet, too.

I always liked the X-11, and IIRC they won their class in SCCA Showroom stock.

A buddy of mine had a 4-door with a 4spd and the iron duke. Slow as molasses, but totally unkillable. (and we tried.....believe me we tried) With the seats folded down it was cavernous inside---- very practical car.....but not exactly glamorous!

Nope . FWD. GMs first attempt in a small car.

Its just like 70s music.... crap... but it has some appeal in a foggy nostalgia kind of way....

My mother in law owned a 1st gen before they fixed the brake problem.....
