GM sold somewhere in the number of around 1 million RWD cars in 87 and then moved to FWD and had some hold over RWD Olds and buick's that they still had to clear out in 88. I was working at a dealer at the time the mechanics working on the FWD said it was all designed to get more money out of the consumers, and business was good those cars were coming in for more trans issues, computer, and in the winter better not hit any curbs with your Z24 or the front end would get out of alignment.

My first new car was this 84 Monte SS that I scraped to buy at age 21. I always felt that when GM went FWD in 88 that their cars lost an American identity. With nothing special to differentiate GM's cars, there was no reason not to buy imports that were better.
I personally stayed RWD with Camaro/Firebird/GTO but my family cars changed to Honda
