I think that was actually the Chevy Citation (maybe Chevette too, I forget), 
which was so bad a lot of people don't even remember it existed. That was also 
the era of "The Shape of Things to Come" (and go away, apparently) and the 
Sears Diehard commercial with the prototype TR8. Madison Avenue should not 
underestimate their effect on 10 year olds. Their crappy car ads for crappy car 
designs sent me right into getting in trouble for sketching antique designs 
like MGAs and E-Types on my notebook covers in Mrs. Felber's 4th grade class.
