11. Oldsmobile 442
Oldsmobile revived the most famous name from its performance portfolio in 1985. It was based on the rear-wheel-drive Cutlass platform. This time, the model designation stood for a four-speed automatic transmission, a four-bbl carburetor, and two exhausts.
The 307 V8 engine delivered 170 to 180 HP. This wasn’t enough for exciting performance numbers, so Oldsmobile concentrated on handling and luxury. This made the 442 a comfortable car to own. This Oldsmobile was the last rear-wheel-drive 442. In three years, they made just over 10,000 of them.
