Vega looked kind of nice, but was a rust bucket.

Nova was a mid-sized car.

Pinto... ick.  Hated them, but have to admit they were tough little
cars.  So was the Maverick.  

I always marveled how the US built small cars: small body usually poorly
designed, small engine, full sized transmission.

Always made it look like a half-hearted effort.

I like those too.
