Chrysler in 86- we make a lot stuff for every buyer - Chrysler in 2019- we make the hellcat... and trucks.

Why do I love watching these retro reviews so much more than the contemporary ones????

I love how they point out features that don't matter: "Updates for this model year include rounded air vents and map pockets behind the front seats."

You gotta love the cheesy yet appropriate 80's hotel lobby elevator music! lol

@6:52 the Chrysler Fifth Avenue. I still recall how much my dad wanted one of these for himself and the family. But with a family comes other priorities and responsibilities. Wish I could go back in time and buy him one. To all the dads out there that work hard for their families and always just making do with what they can afford, you’re the ones we look up to.

80's cars are my favorite generation of cars. I love the retro, kinda slick, but boxy style cars.

The Airflow is pure ArtDeco on wheels! I dig it.

Chrysler number of cars in 83: Too many to count Chrysler number of cars now: Only 2

My first car in 1996 was a 85 Dodge Diplomat. White ex IL state police car. 800 bucks. But it was all mine. And pretty easy to fix. My highschool had a automotive repair class. And if u bought the parts the students would attempt to fix it lol. Great first car.

amazing how pretty these cars are today.

That was quite the detail-packed episode. My aunt used to swear by those Plymouth Horizons. She had about 2 or 3 of them in all before she had to settle on something else, a 1996 Ford Escort station wagon that came to our driveway after she past away. Thanks for the video!

Loving these full year lineup videos. Thanks.

They actually forgot to mention the fastest car Dodge offered for 1986...the Shelby GLHS. Ran Mid 14sec quarter mile. Back then, that was moving!!

Dodge Daytona reminds me Dee Dee McCall in "Hunter."

"new front air dam. It's rounded at the edges". lol!

I'm not a dodge/Chrysler/mopar guy at all but the Omni glh has always been a car I'd add to my collection if I ever came into a large amount of money.

My grandma had a white Aries with a red interior. It was comfy.

I bought a brand new Chrysler laser XT turbo back in 1986 . Red with black. All digital. Everyone love the car and dated a HOLLYWOOD actress who loved it. The car was one of my best and I've owned a few Porsches. 928 and a Lotus. Great car .

I been a motorweek fan for a long long time love this retro one reminds me the good old days.

Oh I love and miss that GLH. Had access to a mint example around '90 thanks to my older sister. I would crush anything that wanted to race. and it handled like it was on rails for the time.

Great to see those cars all reviewed on their positive characteristics, some cool cars in there and of course, the minivan! where it all started!

I remember my parents had a 1984 Dodge Aries wagon. Despite the misaligned wood trim on the dash, they loved that car and it never let them down. I wish I could say the same about my Plymouth Horizon...

Omni GLH = "Goes Like Hell"

That white Dodge Lancer is SOOOO 80s I've never heard of the Plymouth Caravelle. You learn something new everyday....

OMG! So many Chrysler Turbo cars. Ahead of there time. It so easy to make all these cars fast. And with Mopar Parts supporting performance parts that could be installed right at the dealer. Turbo Minivan with a Mopar Super 60 Package = low 12sec 1\4mile beast!

My first car was a laser xt. God I miss it. I totaled it. It is probably worth alot this day in age. It was a very high tech car.

My parents had a 1986 Dodge Omni GLH that was a baddass little car.

I had a 1986 Dodge Omni GLH. 1986 was the first year that the 3rd brake light became Federal law on U.S. cars. My GLH was the base 110 hp 2.2L. Good for 0-60 mph in 8.5 secs with a top speed of 110 mph. Don't sound like much today, but was faster than a VW GTI, Ford Escort GT or Renault GTA at the time.

God bless MotorWeek! I love watching and rewatching every episode!

There was so much overlap in the products lines back then.

A coworker of mine bought a used 84 K car in 1990 for $400. He was poor af, and he bought one used snow tire for $10 and mounted it on the right front. I'll never forget when I showed up first at work during a snow storm, wondering if anyone else could make it in. Sure enough, here came Chris in his K car with one snow tire.

I owned a '85 LeBaron GTS turbo. It was a great car and very reliable. Installed Mopar performance ecu, injectors and a shift kit. Fun car and very quick in its time.

I think John very literally phoned in the Colt segment. lmao :p

Wow, that power wagon was tearing it up on the back roads. What hideous cars, so much infact I find them strangely appealing now. Has to be nostalgia.

My first car was an '85 Omni GLH, my second car was an '86 Daytona C/S (Which I think stood for Competition Series, not Carroll Shelby.) This sure brought back some memories.

I loved the Dodge Omni. As a guy squeaking by on low income in the 1990's, it was perfect. Lots of parts at junk yards and I could buy and sell them at a steady 800-900 bucks, cause I couldn't always afford or need a car.

pioneering efforts by Chrysler in the 80's leads to today's cars. the lead bush chopper always gets shade..bc the brush hasn't been cleared yet :) as they were rebuilding their corporation after near collapse, late '70's, along the way they were the tip of the minivan, turbo & fine handling, sporty, great mpg spear. & they performed so well in harsh weather, deep snow etc, that contributed to so many being wrecked, rusted & wore out. deffo not just sunshine performers.

One platform so many models.

I love my 87' Shelby Z, it's pretty quick with it's stock Garrett T-3 boosted to 18psi.

My mom had a caravelle as a avon company car...she hated it. It was replaced with a acclaim that had a v6 she liked it so much she bought it when it was time to get another car. It went well over 200k and was semi fun to drive.

The Plymouth Horizon, sold as the Talbot Horizon here in the UK, I thought it looked familiar!!!

listening to the tires talk on that diplomat was amazing.

1986 was the last year for the Dodge 600 "Club Coupe" and Convertible, both of which were remnants of the model 400 sold in 1982-83. 1986 was the first year all of the 600 line had the same (but modified) front grille design as the 1985 Aries.

Wow, I forgot about the Colt Vista wagon! Cool to see it new.

I bought a 1984 GLH when it first came out. For the time it was a little rocket, faster than most cars and handled like a go cart. I would love to have it back!

What a bunch of beauties! I have a 1986 dodge lancer es.

I still want a red Laser XT turbo with t tops!

Admit it. At least from the top view, that Dodge 600 Convertible was boss looking.

Came here for the Omni GLH. Stayed because it felt like a memorial when someone dies and it’s rude to leave in the middle.

Omg so many choices of different cars!! You would have to shop 3 different manufacturers today to get these many options

Love the Daytona and Omni GLH Turbo..Shelby Charger as well..I owned a few Daytona's and a Shelby Charger albeit non turbo 84 model...and a 85 GLH Onni Turbo,few tricks and 13 flat 1/4 mile times(14.7 stock,had to bring rpm's up for take off,spun tires but you had full power otherwise turbo lag until 20 mph) ...was awesome in 1990 ! My parents owned a Dodge Aries then a LeBaron GTS Turbo,handles great and awesome performance 15's was very good ..14's were a mopar computer..

That CS was amazing.

Still like the whole lineup. Surprised that they never updated the Diplomats and Fifth Avenues with at least fuel injection. (though I suppose by that point they were just like the current Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger in that they were kept around because all the development costs had long since been covered) Also, always liked the Lancers. Pity so few survive.

Did you guys ever do a car specific review of the Omni GLH or GLHS. If so, would love to see it!

At 6:39 Love those Plymouth Gran Fury from back in the day.

It's too bad that Lancer Pacifica never happened... that was a neat looking car!

My first car was a Dodge Omni. It was a great car.

Love that ramcharger!!

Love the RamCharger and Gran Fury/Diplomat..ditch the lean burn spark control sysyem,add a better carb (non smog) and they have great performance/power even the FifthAvenue actually has power if you remove the lean burn spark control system..add a Mopar electronic ignition and orange baox and a nice non smog carb.....they wake up !!!

Listening to the music in this, I was having flashbacks to the car dealer music in the original Gran Turismo!

I had an 84 Shelby, an 85 Daytona Turbo and an 86 caravan.

American auto manufacturers "How can we do this cheapest?"

AAAAAHHHH COLT!!!! Literally Screamed that at 0:41

5:08 wow the Chrysler Town & Country used to be a small station wagon?!

7:04 Garage door? 7:22 Bolts on the hood latch assembly are already rusted....

An awkwardly mounted 3rd taillight in an 80’s car was a common sight back in the 90’s and early 2000’s. That’s how us car guys could tell the difference between an 85 and an 86 lol.

K-CAR Limo! Gotta be a rare find if any left

Oh yes, the original and best Hot Hatch. The Dodge Omni GLH Turbo!!!!

here a k car there a k car everywhere a k car

how i miss the turbo daytona....

Lol! I remember back in the day trying to race a Daytona Turbo with an 88 Escort GT, got my ass kicked! 🤣

chulads de carros yo tengo mi chrysler láser y feliz saludos desde México

Love these reviews cause Familiarity beats Contemporary.

I love Chrysler Line-Up 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 is my year favorite

My grandfather's 86 Diplomat is still running today, AC still blowing cold with no conversion

4:47..................."YOU BROKE THE SEAT!!!! YOU BROKE THE GODDAMN SEAT!!!!!"

I would love to have an omni glh besides a g60 mk2, times when fwd hatches slayed almost everything and anything

When I was a youngin I had a Colt wagon with push button 4wd... It was fun.. I rolled it.. lol

Had a 87 Plymouth Sundance,Traveled to see The Dead,Great Time,Great car.And The Dead !

omg the k-car from Chrysler LOL that chassie was used pretty much on everything back then from the minivan to I believe the trucks too?

Awesome video....of essentially a bunch of K-CARS! :)

VISTA AT 8:57, BABY........YES!!!!!!!! And 7:51...........WHOA!!!!!! That tester is going to wipe that baby out if he keeps driving like that!!!!! And that blue Reliant at 9:21 is EXACTLY like the one that Mr. Rooney had in Ferris Bueller's Day Off!!!!! Kind of makes you wonder if the studio had a deal with Chrysler at that time & they got it right from the proving grounds!!!!!

PLYMOUTH SHADOW AND DODGE SUNDANCE :p those actually have a better ring to em than the actual names.

My dad had a 5th Avenue. nice big engine, but was a death trap. It was like the steering wasn't connected at all.

In 1986 a Chrysler Town and Country later in 1990 Chrysler Town and County minivan then later in 2017 Chrysler Pacifica minivan what a timeline

Where did this amazing lineup go?

Lee Iacocca was at a meeting i was at and asked what does GLH mean? He said" GOs like HECK!" THAT 1.6 Peugeot really ran.(don't remember it a car) 7,000 rpm w/push rods. I also had a HP 2dr K car 2.2 turbo but with 220 hp. Never went production , transaxle could not handle the power. Oh it accelerated faster then the Firebird turbo during PBPG pace car test.

Beautiful little Fiat. Great nostalgia of when America was safe and pleasurable compared to the hellhole we're experiencing now.

That Lancer Pacifica is so sexy! 500 made, and the precursor to my beloved Shelby Lancer.

Motorweek needs to do brand line up videos like this in their new episodes.

I love those sticky tyres. What ever they are.

1:59 funny to see the Shadow prototype : a K cars with a new nose

Here a small bit of little known info. The minivan of this period was available with the turbo motor also!

My buddy had a dodge colt turbo. Fun fact, it was faster than the corvette of that year. It was actually too fast for the suspension that came on it, he eventuraly totalled it out.

1:20 my buddy had one of those in college circa 1991, 1992. It was beat to Hell at the time. Amazing how fast cars fell apart back then. 8 year old cars were already "beaters". Compare to now. You can easily see a cherry 15 year old car. Better quality overall.

7:45 This guy is having more fun than I am right now.

Do you have any retro other Grand Wagoneer/Grand Cherokee episodes?

I love the Laser XT

I've got to be up in 4 hours for work.... Why am I watching this? Why do I keep watching these instead of sleeping...

I'm having a Pavlovian response to that Swedish Erotica soundtrack music...
