So, I don't even know why this is a discussion point since for some 60+ years there has been no rivalry between the two automakers in the 2-seat sports coupe segment.
Maybe we can discuss the 1982 Ford EXP vs. the 1984 Pontiac Fiero?  |
Hey, what about Torino Talladega and King Cobra? You can’t just pretend those never existed
