20. Chevrolet Citation X-11
This compact, front-wheel drive hatchback produced from 1980 to 1985 had a somewhat powerful V6 engine and a muscle car look. Maybe it would be best to describe this car as the fine line between the American hot hatch and late model muscle car since it features aspects of both segments (via Hemmings).
The Citation was a modern model that Chevrolet needed to fight the import models and came in a wide arrange of models. The X-11 featured a 2.8-liter V6 engine and 135 HP. Despite the fact that it doesn’t sound like much today, it was solid power for the time. The X-11 had a few more tricks up its sleeve, such as a sports-tuned suspension, sharper steering, and better brakes.
