I wouldn't dis Olds, but for their styling. "American Volvo" about covers it.
My roommate has a newer Olds with the 3.8l V6. That engine's been the
subject of at least one thread here - I think it ranks as one of the top ten
engines ever designed in North America (as does the 318 Mopar!).
The General doesn't suffer from poor engineering, but from hideous management.
The 8-6-4 engine, and the V8 diesels, would never have rolled out of a
Japanese factory - they'd have spent the money to redesign the car -- right --
so it didn't need a wheezy pollution-strangled V8. Or a new engine.
Worthy Olds (in my book): 442, and the '69 Hurst Olds on my calendar this
month (got a tab on the '70 Challenger R/T for June).
Welcome to the MoPower stable!
