The Chevrolet Vega--What Went Wrong?

Like the second article says it was ahead of its time in a lot of aspects and of course corporate greed in others. I had a 75 model the first year with a five speed transmission and found a Cosworth Engine and enjoyed that car well into the 80s until it was ran down by a drunk idiot on the road one weekend.
