Top Gear - 1970s American Cars

Late 70s American cars are given a grilling by Jeremy Clarkson.

Cars were hideous overall until the 90s. In the late 80s, when Robocop came out using repainted Ford Tauruses to stand in for the SUX 9000, I noticed that mainstream cars were finally starting to get some attractive lines again. But compare a 90s Ford Taurus to the mainstream Ford offerings of the 50s and 60s, and you can see just how fucking ugly the design trends had made things by 1980.

I used to look at vans, minivans, station wagons, K-cars, town cars, Cadillacs, etc. in the 80s as a little kid and wonder why the hell everything was made so ugly.

Every American car that is, some European cars where good, well better, comparatively, at least they didn't drive like an leaking oil tanker on stilts with a drunk captain and an insane helmsman.

Every car on the planet in the late 70's was shit. Don't see what the racist fap is whining about.

I guess I have higher standards than you.

And that is why I decided to not get a job at the big three, even though I graduated from the University of Detroit. I saw the writing on the wall. People want a car that works, not a car that looks good.
