That goes beyond bad. Yes, sadly true. The only thing Vega’s did was blow its engine too quickly and rust away before your eyes. But when they ran, they handled good and were fun little cars on a windy road. (My little Vega GT Blew its engine at 20,000 miles and was never once really abused.).
 
Couldn’t be more.

Pinto’s should have been the flaming end to a lot of Ford upper management.

Vega GT’s. Balanced and handled well enough, they were often used for tire tests. It was truly a fun little car in the mountains, where my rich uncle wanted me after his all expenses paid trip to South East Asia. (Ft Carson, nice place, I would have been very tempted to stay and make it a career, except they tried Again :( to make this infantry trained soldier into a clerk typist. I can type, but not even close to Army standards. In the Army, regardless of the document’s length, not one error was allowed. Type a full page, single spaced, miss-spell the last word, it has to be typed again. Being dyslexic, give me a gun, Please Not a Selectric typewriter…).

Vega GT, I wish they would have let me spec out the engine. Over square, aluminum block with liners, aluminum crossflow head, keep the single overhead cam but make it a Chrysler style hemi head, no more than 2 liters, Put some really good rust proofing on some decent steel or borrow the composite construction from the St Louis plant where Corvettes where being made for the body. I would still be driving it.
