The 1980s saw perhaps the most significant transformation in the history of American automobiles. Throughout this decade, most cars in the U.S. became smaller, experienced significant reductions in engine size, and shifted from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive. Additionally, many beloved and popular car models were discontinued during this time. Here is a list of five notable 1980s cars that were canceled but deserved to continue into the 1990s and beyond.

GMs cardinal rule: NO ONE messes with Corvette sales. That’s why the Buick and Fiero were cancelled
@johnnymason3265
@johnnymason3265 2 дня назад
The Fiero and the Grand National were dropped because GM refused to let anything in their portfolio challenge the Corvette. GM is obsessed with keeping the Corvette at the top of the company.

Well the grand national was canceled mostly because the g body platform was moving to a front wheel drive platform. They didn't have a fwd transmission that could handle that kind of power. You are correct though. That's why pontiac got the firebird instead of the banshee.

The Fiero lost out because it was little more than a mobile forest fire. It rivaled the Corvair for the top spot on the "Unsafe at any speed" competition.

That would have been pretty badass, if the Fierro had 240 hp for it’s size had it continued well into the 90s

Although I was way too young at the time to drive, I remember these cars. Among my favourites are the American Motors (AMC) Eagle, first year Cadillac Cimarron, the Buick Regal Grand National, and the Pontiac Fiero. It's a crying shame that they were discontinued when they were. Oh well, you can't please everyone.

The Fiero had potential to be a bad ass car. They could have given it more power to compete with the 'Vette or lightened it and had a mid-engine Miata type vehicle. The latter is what I would have pushed for as it would have taken the Fiero out as a 'Vette competitor". GM may have left it alone then.

They should make one now, with the 310hp turbo max.

@@scottlowell493 I'd like to see a mid-engine Fiero comeback. If they could keep the weight down, throw a genuine suspension under it (double wishbone and maybe even coilovers), give it styling at least "somewhat" visually competitive with the Lotus Emira/ Porshe cayman I'd nab that WAY before the "Vette. If they made MY dream Fiero it would be 250HPish and compete with Lotus Elise/Exige type cars. 2000-2200lbs and "clench your a** cheeks" level of corner/curve taking suspension. I live in the mountains where you can just about read your own damn rear tag taking curves. For someone like me, handling and car feedback trumps "raw power" 90% of the time.

I would have Loved to have owned a 1988 Pontiac Fiero. That was the last year and had the completely different suspension. The 4cyl wasn’t a very good choice, but the V6 was fairly good.

The Mazda RX7 could also be on your list, if you see the current price of used RX7's now shows there is still a high demand for this vehicle. ...I loved mine, still amazed I never flipped mine. But there are rumors Mazda will be releasing an Gasoline Electric Hybrid version "soon".

The Buick Grand National was the greatest car GM produced since the 60s. Doing away with it was the biggest mistake GM ever made.

GM could not let an upstart Pontiac to dethrone the flagship “Vette”. Quite a shame, stupid for GM to cancel the Fiero. Just think what it could be now?

Never selling my 87 T-Type Turbo, someday I'll sell the 88 Formula. Cimarron, questionable choice, was much quieter and handled better than Cavalier.

That Caddy desperately needed to die. The Eagle would've been surpassed by the asians more + more each year, and the Fiero was well named as it loved to spontaneously combust.
