I bought a new 81 Camaro that I drove over 200k miles without any issues. None. I sold it to a guy who drove it another 100k last I knew. There you go. How many 82 Hondas do you see on the road? Or 82 Datsun's? Or 82 Subarus? Or 82 Toyotas? None.... They were pieces of crap. Their advertising told everyone they were such quality. They were rice burning pieces of crap.

If you are a business major you'll even study about the Japanese advertising schemes they used in the late 70's and early 80's.

81 82 was when they took pride in their cars. During the mid 80s the company decided to cut corners and build crap. It was clearly a design/management decision because there were so many issues. I can list them if you like. BTW we did not drive the car hard. The dealer could have made it right and work with us but they told so long when the warranty expired. We dumped the POS at 14 K miles. Our recent experience was with a Jimmy. We had to have the engine rebuilt at 100 k miles. We’ll it needed a valve job. Turns out the incompetent boob tech misdiagnosed the problem. It needed a new computer chip. This was after we spent $2000 trying to get it to run reliably.

Then insult to injury the Feds bailed them out with my tax money. I am betting that they never improved their quality because they didn’t have to.
