Pontiac's 1980 Phoenix and

With loots of room for five people.
Part of this spaciousness is
accounted for by mounting the
engine transversely; requiring less
space...and by .front -wheel drive,
minimizing the need for a large
floor hump or tunnel in the
passenger area.

other ways. With the heaviest part
