It’s pretty perfect. (Well, first fix the mechanical stuff and maybe glue on that sagging bumper filler pannel.)

This is the car seen parked at the curb in the background of any episode of Magnum, P.I. or Murder, She Wrote.

I drove the Buick version of this back in the day. It was not impressive when it was new.

Sarcasm.

With cars like this Citation you can understand why car guys were jacked up to buy the new 1983 VW Rabbit GTi with 90 horsepower.

Also, these commercials were all over TV back in the day.

I loved my Citation, and it ate GTI's up.

I just went through the entire Magnum series. It was mostly Fairmonts and Zephyrs. Not sure about Murder she wrote. I love me some bad vintage TV but even I can't stomach that one.

Unrelated, Hawaii 5-0 and Rockford files ended about the same time. In a move of sheer brilliance (lazyness) they combined the two and that became Magnum P.I.

Really

This would be the first Wikipedia entry without a [citation needed] flag.

Could be a good parts car to save a X11 or Phoenix SJ.
