Chevrolet Vega

The Vega dates back to the '70s, and was production from 1970 to 1977.  It had four body styles: hatchback, notchback, wagon, and even sedan delivery.

The Vega was supposed--but failed--to give the Ford Pinto a run for its money.

Like the Pinto, the Vega scored high in fuel-tank vulnerability.  Anyone who traded in a Pinto for a Vega--thinking the Vega was a better choice--was in for a big surprise!

Also...think of the Vega as the American equivalent of the Holden Torana (XU1).
