I had a 1974 Vega GT ... never had any problems with it and drove it pretty hard. But GM ironed out some bugs by then.

With the slant 6 they were a decent bullet proof car. The quality control and rust was a major issue the first couple of years.

Was the Vega the winner in 2021 … seems like it here ?

A 74 Vega gt with a small block would get my 2021 vote

I'd vote for the Vega. My '73 ...

They live up to the trend in Motor Trend, EV's can do no wrong in the eyes of many. Suppose that oddball overpriced Rivian truck will be the truck of the year as well.

Agree 225 was a great engine the rusting out was the big issue along with the quality...
