Tough cars and a winner for Chrysler, and the car that saved Chrysler. Just think: as late as 1978, Chrysler was building this:

Reliants had a 2.6L 4cyl Mitsu motor as an option, 2.2L chrysler motor as standard. Mitsu v6 motors were an option in the later Plymouth Acclaim - Dodge Spirit - the K car's replacements.

I bought my 1st 'new car' in 1978. While I admired the big Chryslers - Dodges - Plymouths from afar, I bought this: Monte Carlo w/Landau option and V6. Fully loaded except for a sunroof. Somewhat similar to this one.

Yes gorgeous. This husband is a Ford man.
No doubt about it , the upcoming Canyon/Colorado is a good looking truck. Waiting to see how it squares up against the 6g Ranger....

I would take the looks of the canyon but the ranger raptor as the midsize king. Then again I'm biased towards a coil/linked rear.

probably was 4cyl. that was over 30 years ago. I remember mitsubishi on top of the motor and my grandpa cursing those certain people and bragging about how many zero's he shot down. ahhh the good ol' days

I constantly get dealers asking for my Ranger...
I never said they didn’t want it. I work at a credit union so I know how much it’s worth because I book out vehicles daily. We would loan 37,000 on that vehicle and they were wanting to give me $28,000 trade-in. Which is fine, I used to work at a car dealership many years ago, So I know how it works. The previous dealership told me they couldn’t match 28.

Yeah, the Ford dealer asks me when I have it in for service.
"Do you have another Ranger to sell me?"
"No"
"Well, no then."
