"They somehow managed to have this car plagued by heavy torque steer in the front despite the lack of power; this was the first transverse engine front-wheel drive car GM developed, and I use the term "developed" here lightly. That didn't stop them from modifying a few cars for the press to get rid of that handling issue for positive reviews, which is pretty damn sad. Even worse, they won Car of the Year for 1980 as a result. There was regret later when some of those same reviewers got to drive an actual production car."
