Chevy Beretta
The Beretta was a car with the same premise as the Ford Probe in that GM was looking to replace their flagship car. The Beretta was a lot better than the Probe in many ways. The styling of the car was better and the performance wasn’t that bad but it wasn’t anywhere near the Camaro (via Best Ride).
The Beretta Z34 was a fun car when it was brand new, but nowadays this car should be avoided. The cheap build quality of the Beretta was one of the reasons it should be avoided nowadays. There were better classics from this era that are worth investing in. Needless to say, the plan to replace the Camaro didn’t go well for GM.
