The Omni was a subcompact car made from 1978 until
1990. These were cheap cars during an era of poor
Americans. When Ronald Reagan tried to claim that
trickle down economics works, this was the kind of
trickle he considered a success.

This car was twins with the Plymouth Horizon, and
you could find them everywhere. Like gypsy moth caterpillers,
they were like an infestation everywhere on earth.
Even in the darkest regions of the rainforest, you
could probably find an opening where 37 Omnis/Horizons
were parked. They helped Chrysler become a profitable
car maker again after years of struggling against
GM and Ford. Engine options included the 1.6 L Peugeot/Simca
I4 all the way up to a 2.2L Turbo I I4. It was only
available as a 5 door hatchback, but physicists are
still trying to figure out how they managed to fit
two doors on each side. The standard transmission
was a 4 speed made by Volkswagen (can we call this
a parts bin car?) but there was also a 5 speed manual
and two 3 speed automatics. There was also a Carroll
Shelby Omni GLH, which stood for Goes Like Hell.
It used the turbo engine, and the final 500 from
1986 were sold to Shelby and used for the 1986 Shelby
GHLS.
If you are looking to buy one used, you are really
poor... oh wait, I mean you can find them online
on places like eBay. You can also find some parts
there. Go for the Shelby if you can find one, and
modify the hell outta it to make a great sleeper
car. Losing a race to an Omni is a known cause of
depression. |
