Actually they went to move conventional instrumentation in the eighties...

I was going to say delorean or fiero, but honestly I really like that Mitsubishi in the first pic I've never seen one but if I had the chance I'd drive the wheels off of it.

considering the first one was on the road in 1978... I consider it a seventies designed car

Why is there so much 70s styling in the 80s styling thread?

because you'd have to show cars that went into production in the 90's to get styling that was done in the 80's... it's a production lag thing.

i think Ford started developing the Taurus in the 80's.. then when it came out this happened:

No you don't. There's not a 10yr production lag.. I think there are just lots of people who cant parse which cars were sold in the 80s that were actually updated 70s styling.

Everything on the first page was fine until the countach, but on the second page we got the 914, Lagonda, and TR7 from the 70s and some stuff that was JUST BARELY more 80s than 70s like the Biturbo, Delorean and Shelby Charger.
