Some may say that it was government C.A.F.E. requirements or fuel mileage but in my mind it was car manufactures finding a way to get the public to trade up sooner.
My dad would try and get his new car to last 8 to 10 years (Scottish mother LOL) his last GM was a 81 Cutlass and he did get 10 years out of that car.
In the late 80's GM got rid of all the RWD full frame cars for cost saving in the building of the cars as well as durability, in my view the old cars lasted longer even in the rust belt that I call Ontario.
