Those inboard lights - was it ever a good idea? Grille is better but the swage line and tumblehome would always make it look fat. Marina & Allagro could have shared the same bodyshell?

About 1985 - 95 seemed to be a sweet spot of car design, with decent rustproofing & enough electronics to keep things reliable without causing too many problems in the long run.
