Some great cars launched in the 80s, but you might have forgotten about some of these...
The tale of the Cimmarron reads as one of half-heartedness. Introduced in 1982 it was a product of pressure. Cadillac, concerned about overseas manufacturers stealing sales, insisted GM give them a car to develop using an existing platform. The problem was, they had just one year to do it.
For the 1984 model year, Continental buyers could choose between a 4.9-liter, 140bhp V8 and a 2.4-liter turbodiesel straight-six built by BMW and tuned to 115bhp; it was the same unit that powered the 524td. Lincoln charged $1235 for the German engine. As it turned out, Mercedes-Benz buyers didn’t want a Lincoln and Lincoln buyers didn’t want a diesel. The option disappeared after 1985.Cutesy but slender. Powerful but delicate. None of these are words anyone would associate with an Isuzu.
