please explain?

Is it only the cars you underlined?
I'm not digging at you, but just a little surprised that you have picked a handful of dreadful cars (imo) from America's undoubtably very worst decade, apart from the Blazer, the cars that you have mentioned would have been strangulated anti smog cars, low HP and shocking build quality, yet 10 or 20 years earlier, American cars were at there very best, regards power and looks...
Thom
May I ask, have you ever owned one?
Regards power, 10 or 20 years earlier they had even less under power, they're at their best now regarding power.
I wouldn't say they're low HP, for average cars, they were around 240bhp, but it's all about torque as they're 350-400ft/lb, now they're pushing out alot more power.
They handle better than people think they do, usually people who've never driven one, let alone own one.
My Corvette I had surprised alot of people who were on the same bandwagon, with its power and handling, which was all standard.
Plus I picked cars I can afford.
No, never owned one (my choice) But have rebuilt, re-sprayed, built to race car spec, many American cars.... Mustangs, Corvettes, a couple of Stingrays, and have friends with C5's/C6's Dodge Charger, and numerous Hot Rods and Drag cars etc etc, and driven pretty much all of them at some point, I also know, and have met many fantastic people both here, and in the States, so yes, I would say that I know more than most people about American cars, and their history, in fact, I'm an anorak
Your explanation seems fair enough, just took me by surprise, thats all...
And my favs would be strictly from the 60s, and early 70s...
