76 Plymouth Volare

Quote:
Lee Iacocca even admitted in his autobiography, “Iacocca: An Autobiography,” that Chrysler rushed the Volaré and its Dodge counterpart, the Aspen, to market too soon:
Aspen and Volaré were introduced in 1975, but they should have been delayed a full six months. The company was hungry for cash, and this time Chrysler didn’t honor the normal cycle of designing, testing, and building an automobile. The customers who bought Aspens and Volarés in 1975 were actually acting as Chrysler’s development engineers. When these cars first came out, they were still in the development phase. Looking back over the past twenty years or so, I can’t think of any cars that caused more disappointment among customers than the Aspen and the Volaré.
