LoL
I will never own one either!
They make all sorts of great cars. They're also definitely not the first car company to suck for a while. There are whole decades worth of American products where they had maybe 5 cars collectively that I'd even be slightly interested in. American cars from like 1973 to 2003 are mostly just shit. There are a few gems in there, but not very many. That's the entire American car selection. Jag getting a few years wrong isn't all that bad.
I don't even want an early Lamborghini, really. Maybe a Miura. I have no desire to own a Countach or anything like that. I don't even want a Diablo.
So, Jag getting some wrong is just fine.
Yeah most American cars aimes at the average person in that time period are really terrible cars and basically use ten years and dispose of them
Man... Remember the Dodge K cars, like the Dodge Aries K? The K platform was in many ways good, but man... It was Iococa's doing at Chrysler and the K platform not only saved them from bankruptcy they were able to pay back the money the government loaned them well ahead of time.
And they still sucked...
The Dodge Caravan was a K platform vehicle.
The first year Caravan could be had with a 5 speed and a 6 cyl. engine. They weren't aware who the customers would be - families by the millions. So, for one year they had 6 cyl and 5 speed transmissions offered - probably for small delivery van purposes.
Hmm... Some day, someone's gonna show up at a car show with a Dodge Caravan - and people are gonna 'oohh and wwooowww' at it.
