   Several interesting points:

1- I would have thought that a car like the Chevette would be up there,
too.

2- Chevrolet Caprice the number 4 car?  Is this a return to the old
full size gas guzzler?

3- Nissan Sentra has made the top ten in its first (second?) year of
introduction.

Be careful out there.
