Triumph Stag
The Stag was introduced in 1970 and produced until 1978. The market was pretty impressed by the new model. It featured cool styling and open-top driving (with a hard top) but still enough room for four adults and luggage. The Stag was powered by a 3.0-liter V8 engine with 145 hp, which was enough for decent performance. The name symbolizes grown male deer. With its muscular appearance and V8 rumble, the Stag looked like a luxury muscle car and attracted some buyers (via SOG).
Unfortunately, owners soon experienced the Stag’s notorious unreliability. Which, along with its higher price, sealed its chances on the American and global market. When production ended in 1978, only 25,000 cars had left the factory.
