also, possibly because they were designed by the same person?

not heavy, at 2700 pounds (give or take a pound) weighs considerably less than my svx, here is the dispelling of the myth, the body was fiberglass, with 304 grade stainless steel panels hung over them, actually lighter than the steel on most cars, because it was thinner metal.

As for ugly, well, that is subjective I suppose.

Saloon car mechanicals? come on, it was designed in the 70's, gps just wasn't an option yet.

kinda feel like I defend a 30 year old car a lot, but, dang it, I like 'em.
