Maybe GM considered it a luxury feature, but you could get a Civic with 4 speed auto in the early 80's

But a 3 speed transmission? This wasn’t the 60's.

You have put more thought into this comment than any of the engineers at GM put into the Cavalier. 

No thanks. A well-preserved shitbox is still a shitbox.

That’s the metaphor I was looking for, thank you.

It might be 1500$ car, but it’s not nice.

A ‘89 ‘Vette drop top with under 70k miles and $10,500 and in about as good a condition as possible? Nice Price, but I’d rather the coupe.

“I told you, honey, I listed it on Craigslist. It’s not my fault nobody else appreciates the zenith of 1980s engineering. I may as well enjoy driving it until somebody offers $10k...”

That’s a step up from a 6 foot hole in the ground to waist high in said hole.

It’s not rad enough and I don’t have enough wood for this car at that price. No dice.

what am I expecting? an asking price in the 4 digits with the first numeral being a 3.. that’s what.

For $10,500? A Cavalier? I don’t care it it’s a convertible. Hell, I wouldn’t care if it also included a modest vacation package to the glorious sunkist beaches of Puerto Rico valued at $5,500, while Vanna White herself flips the final letters as I solve “My wife is leaving me because I bought a Cavalier for $10,500.”

The Cavalier was a huge step up in quality from, say, a Chevette or a Monza, but that huge step was from the bottom rung, or maybe the ground.

The list of much better convertibles for this much money is staggeringly long. No dice.

I can feel the scuttle shake just by looking at these pictures.

That’s a very nice $1,500 car.

Power is provided by a 130 horsepower 2.8-liter OHV V6. That’s matched to a three-speed transaxle feeding the front wheels

What are the recommended serving sizes? Whenever our family has had European friends visit, they often remark at the sheer quantity of food served at once more than they comment about the types of food.

Phaetons and Touaregs are the best worst ideas of any cars out there.

As a wheel designer, I’m fairly certain anyone at Enkei who saw this went “Oof. Okay then.”
