I got a question for many of you what was Lee Iacocca thinking. When he decided that he was going to make the Chrysler New Yorker into a front-wheel drive 2.2 L four-cylinder power luxury car. To me it was the biggest blunder ever to the consumer base who had been buying Chrysler New Yorkers for many of years which were accustomed to full-size rear-wheel drive luxury V8 powered cars. It was a half-hearted attempt at trying to make a luxury car base lucratively off of the K cars platform. There's nothing that will beat a 383 Magnum or a 440 Magnum V8 and rear wheel drive.
Well old Lee was showman and he was up to make money they made cheap cars they sold quite a few of them even though they were pretty junky.and of course back then they had started to worry about pollution and gas mileage and stuff so the big monster cars that they were known for just wouldn't cut the mustard. But yes they were junk there's no arguing that
