Plymouth Sapporo
The Plymouth Sapporo was a unique and fun-to-drive little car that was sold by Plymouth from 1978 to 1983. Perhaps the most unique attribute of the Sapporo was the fact that it was built in partnership with Mitsubishi. This was one of the first partnerships between a domestic automaker and a Japanese one, and it proved to be a successful one for Mitsubishi (via Hemmings).
The Sapporo is generally panned by people who lived through this era of cars, but looking back it was a unique offering. Considering that Chrysler was in a transition period the Sapporo was a decent entry, to say the least. It had a reasonable amount of interior volume and the performance wasn’t bad either. This is one of the most forgotten Plymouth models on the road and it was one of the most surprising.
