In this episode I provide the history of the Chevrolet Citation, which was one of four models across GM's new frontwheeldrive Xbody line, starting for the 1980 model year. With over 811,000 sales for the Citation in just its first year, it was a huge hit for GM. But soon after, reports of rust, engine fires, and inability to safely stop in heavy braking, caught the attention of the NHTSA, and eventually a lawsuit, resulting in the Citation being one of the most recalled vehicles ever produced. It was discontinued in 1985, with only a fraction of sales that last year compared to its first year.
