I got good memories of this lineup too. Learned to drive a stick in a brought home before they were on sale Omni[[Dad worked at Chrysler]. Took my last with-the-family vacation driving from Det to Tampa in a Aries Wagon with 6 people{!} Bought and ordered my first new car, an 81 024 black w/sunroof. Brother had a beautiful 2 tone Challenger. Always borrowed my Dad's 84 E-Class for concerts with friends. And his Lancer ES. Best friend HAD to have a convertible, so a Dodge 400 ES got a lot of 420 smell in it{!} Got a BIG ticket racing my buddy's Spirit R/T with my Shelby Charger. By the end of the 80's our family had probably 10 more K ish cars between us. My Shadow ES, Sundance for my little sister, Daytona Turbo Z and a Lebaron Coupe that brother had. My mom had a Dynasty LE that became the concert car[went to Blonde Ambition in that]and my Dad switched to Dakotas after we moved out of the nest, using it to move apartments all the time. Still a MOPAR and hopefully always will be. One day a 72 Roadrunner or a Cordoba will be in my garage...

I have always been a fan of Chrysler and currently have 6 of them. Both of my 2000 Chrysler Mini Vans have been really reliable. Had a 85 Dodge 600 with the same body style as the Lebaron GTS. Really liked that car in the 5 years I owned it. I was a young man back then and always wanted a Cordoba or Imperial from the that time period.

My first new car was a 1983 New Yorker, and it talked. It was always reminding me that "a door is a jar." And then my second new car was a 1987 Chrysler 5th Avenue. I originally wanted the Imperial, but just could not afford it. I love my 5th Avenue, and still drive it to this day.

The Mirada is going to be a collection worthy classic very very soon. They drive and ride nicely, and had V8 power available, which of course means the ambitious can beef them up to their hearts desire to make quite a retro muscle car. Chrysler corp made some REAL CRAP, but they also at the same time made a few cars that were really quite well built and lasted. Being all over the place on design ideas and quality control is what put them in trouble in the first place, and then again years after this. It's great to offer a variety of products for people, but they all had to be good to retain a reputable brand name, and Chrysler has had perpetual issue with that.

I had an 82 NY 5th Ave w the 318. It was an extremely good car that was on the road 20yrs in my family. It did eat 1 computer, and a set of diff bearings, but the engine was never apart, everything still worked, the interior was perfect, and it had very minor rust when I sold it. And when I did, it was because the trans was worn out and the $1,400.00 quote I got for a replacement seemed too high for a car that age.. However, the guy I sold it to, for a paltry $700.00, put a used trans in it and sold it for $2,200, to a lady that drove it 3 more yrs after that before she took on a telephone pole, and lost! Chrysler made a lot of $ on the M body platform through 89. It still is 1 of my favorite cars that I've owned.

I had an '86 Caravelle e-body wit the 2.2 turbo. On 94 octane it was a rocket!! What a sleeper it was, I could blow any 80's v8 away at the stoplight track and did:-)

In Canada, there was also the Plymouth Caravelle E-body sedan and K-body coupe; while the coupe didn't make it over here in 1985, the sedan did to fill the void left behind by the Chrysler E-Class sedan. I think the Caravelle K-coupe was not brought over here since our Chrysler-Plymouth dealers already had the Chrysler K-LeBaron coupe.

I still like that Chrysler New Yorker. Comfy seats and cushy ride never goes out of style.

I I hope to see the 83 lineups for American Motors and General Motors as well!

My first new car was an 1982 Dodge Mirada 318. Best American car I ever owned. Zero problems for the six years I owned it. I traded it in on a new 88 Thunderbird. Biggest mistake I've ever made. The Ford was in the shop all the time and suffered head gasket failure at 32K miles resulting in a cracked block. I can still hear the squeaking ball joints that Ford said were lifetime lubed.

My Dad bought an E Class new in 1984, first new car we ever had. It had the Mitsubishi 2.6L, and yes it had the voice lol. After the timing chain went after 8000km and had a new engine dropped in under warranty, there was never a problem with it, till after 13 years and a hell of a lot of kms on it, a rod went. Wasn’t even rusty!

My first car was my dad’s 1989 Dodge Omni, which was very similar to my dad’s 1981 Dodge Omni. Beast of a car - felt indestructible. Felt cozy but only got 25 mpg. Thought I was going fast in it, but wasn’t actually - there was just zero sound insulation.

The CV boots on those K/E cars tore if you looked at them funny.

What are you on about? The fastest Diplomats had a 0-60 time around 12-13 seconds with a top speed of 121. In comparison: Corvette: 0-60: around 7 seconds, top speed of 150mph, base model 911: 6.1s and 152mph.

There was no 1983 Corvette, so I don't know what you are talking about. However you are right, I was looking at theoretical specs, official top speed is 140mph for '84, 0-60: 7.0 secs. On the other side, the Porsche specs are right. Any 930 911 (even from 1975) could do 150. '83 and '84 930s could do above 170mph.

Right, the 1984 Corvette went on sale in March 1983!

2:00 The whole centre console was moving about when he was shifting! Lol
