Chevrolet Citation

The Citation was the next generation of compact cars introduced by GM in the 1970s and ’80s. The styling was similar to other compact cars on the market at the time. The Citation was not a great performing car by any stretch of the imagination, and this left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers. The Citation was a popular car when it was new because of the cheap price tag, but its lackluster build quality meant the car wouldn’t last very long (via eBay Motors).

There was a very rare version of the Citation that was turbocharged but by now, most of these have rusted away. There was nothing to love about the Citation at all, and most drivers were frustrated being stuck on the side of the road. The Citation was a small blip in the long and storied history of GM compact cars.
