Motorweek Retro: 1984 GM lineup

Look at all that sweet RWD iron. And yet it seemed like the lineup was 50% FWD - I would call that diverse. This was actually a pretty big year for GM. Lots of fuel injection was available.

He voted the F-body most likely to remain RWD. Those late 80s Mustang rumors were probably of some concern for him then.

Wait, they put the 3.8 turbo in the FWD Riviera???

It is sad but Cadillac had the worst powertrains for 1984.

Wow, the Fiero was advertised at 50 mpg highway in 1984!

Then they said the Fiero borrowed stuff from the Chevette. Oh no! And iron Duke! It is like half of the ad is selling the car, but then there are these details...
