This was a rare car meant to take on Toyota. The Plymouth Sapporo was released in the 1970s to compete with the Corolla. What happened is that the car fell short in almost every area. The “silent shaft” four-cylinder engine was supposed to be a much more refined motor. But in reality with all the new smog equipment that automakers had to bolt onto the engine, the performance was badly hampered (via Hemmings).

Then we move onto the interior of the car, which was very barebones at the time. Plymouth did what they could to make the car as comfortable as possible. But in the end, the Sapporo is just another blip in the storied history of Plymouth. Surprisingly enough, the car has gained traction in the enthusiast community in recent years.
