Designed to afford drivers something they may have not experienced for a long time.....sheer pleasure.
The Plymouth Sapporo is a Mitsubishi Lambda with Plymouth badges. They were marketed under Dodge as the...gulp....Challenger. The Sapporo/Challenger came standard with the 4 cylinder Silent Shaft Mitsubishi engine. Chrysler bragged 40 hwy mpg's, proving that in the late 70's, Detroit was not afraid to run to imports for fuel efficiency. Proud owners checked the gas and filled the oil as they were prone to oil consumption.
Sadly after nearly 40 years its still hard to get 40 mpg's....which is why if I find one for sale, I'm buying that...thing.
