Ford struggled when it was revealed that the Ford Pinto&#8217;s gas tank was vulnerable to exploding when hit from behind.<\/p>\n<p>Ford knew about this vulnerability but did not design any safeguards in order to save a few dollars per vehicle. They rationalized that the cost of lawsuits would be less than the cost of redesigning the car. GM had a string of miscues starting with the Chevrolet Vega, which developed a reputation for rapidly rusting and having major problems with the aluminium engine. Cadillac damaged their reputation when the four-cylinder Cadillac Cimarron was introduced in 1981 (a gussied-up Chevrolet Cavalier at twice the price) and the &#8220;V8-6-4&#8221; engine didn&#8217;t work as advertised. GM&#8217;s reputation was also damaged when it revealed in 1977 that they were installing Chevrolet engines in Oldsmobiles, and lawsuits from aggrieved Oldsmobile owners followed.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise litigation ensued when a trio of diesel engines, designed from gasoline engines and used in GM cars from 1978 to 1985 suffered major problems. Class action lawsuits and efforts from the Federal Trade Commission resulted in buybacks of the cars from GM. Chrysler also suffered damage to its reputation when its compact cars, the Plymouth Volar\u00e9 and Dodge Aspen, were developed quickly and suffered from massive recalls and poor quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Don\u2019t forget our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/supercar-lists\/best-cars\/\">best car hub<\/a> where you can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/supercar-lists\/best-cars\/\">top cars for every year<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Our Favorite Cars for the 1977 Model Year<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1977_AstonMartin_V8Vantage1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-265168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1977_AstonMartin_V8Vantage1.jpg\" alt=\"1977\u21921989 Aston Martin V8 Vantage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1977_AstonMartin_V8Vantage1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1977_AstonMartin_V8Vantage1-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1977_AstonMartin_V8Vantage1-100x78.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1977_AstonMartin_V8Vantage1-770x602.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1977_AstonMartin_V8Vantage1-293x229.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"vw-post-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1977%e2%86%921989-aston-martin-v8-vantage\/\">1977 Aston Martin V8 Vantage<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>The V8 engine having proved to be an exceptionally reliable and robust unit, it was clear that there was scope for a significant increase in the power that it could deliver.
