Having used Omnis and Horizons on several occasions I can only say that I have
never seen a car that deteriorates faster (we're talking falling apart in
front of your eyes) then the Chrysler twins.  Lee sure missed a chance to
junk those two cars when remaking the 'new' Chrysler Corp a few years back.
It amazes me how Chrysler was able to steal a design from VW and Ford, use
(at least in the first few years) a VW engine and transmission, and still
wind up with a lousy car.  The Rabbit and the Fiesta were and still are much
superior to the Omin/Horizon.  

Past experience with Chrysler cars indicates that after ~1967 the company
made about 1 good auto - the Dart/Valiant - and then replaced that one
success story with the Volare/Aspen loosers.  I've used a 74 Plymouth wagon
for a while and a 73 Plymouth Fury III both of which were LOUSY LOUSY LOUSY!!!
