And yet you can still buy a brand new Golf. And it’s bigger and more powerful than an AMC Gremlin. And yet the same user issues still apply...

I can’t believe that 0-60 time was something they wanted to advertise. For that matter, I don’t understand how you could get a 128HP engine to be that slow? The modern Honda Fit has about the same weight and power (assuming AMC’s number isn’t bullshit), but has a 0-60 around 8.5 seconds.

3 speed automatic and over 2600lbs (fairly heavy for the time). A Civic of the same era was over 19 seconds 0-60, people used to expect small, cheap cars to be slow. And the Gremlin and Civic were both pretty quick compared to the standard Beetle.

This was the first episode of Roadkill that I ever saw.
