Why are we forced to have layouts full of BMWs, Audi's, and no common folks cars that filled most of the country's parking lots for decades?
We do need more common autos. You can have only so many luxury and sports cars on a layout. Everyday vehicles are a must. If I may add 1990s and early 2000 vehicles to the list. A wider array of cars in general are needed.
I want to piggyback on Scott’s and Carl’s comments, particularly Scott’s list. The K cars (notably the Plymouth Reliant and Dodge Aries) were ubiquitous in the 1980s, and so far all that we have is Greenlight’s Aries in the police car line. The Plymouth Horizon and the Dodge Omni were also very popular among compact cars.
I have to smile at the idea of the Matador (“What’s a Matador?”, as the memorable 1970s commercials repeatedly stated), but I like it.
I would like to add the 1974-78 Ford Mustang II to the list — not the sporty Cobra Fastback version that Charlie’s Angels Jill Monroe made even hotter (and which Greenlight has released in different colors), but the 2-plus-2 sedan that was driven by the common folk (including me).
