Description

In the 1990s, American automakers raced to build new, affordable cars to fight off Japanese imports. This video counts down 8 of the cheapest, from the Chevrolet Malibu and Ford Contour to the Oldsmobile Achieva and Saturn SL. Some hid secret high performance engines almost nobody remembers, like the SVT Contour and the ultra rare Achieva SCX. All were built right here in America. Nearly every brand behind them, Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Saturn, no longer exists. We rank all 8 by price, cheapest last, and explain exactly why their makers disappeared. #ClassicCars #90sCars #AmericanCars #CarHistory
