Toyota Named Official Car of NHRA

The gas shortage back in the mid seventies opened the door for foreign car makers.I was a Subaru tech for a few years back then and I can tell you their cars were cheap and poorly constructed.However cheap and good fuel economy were excellent selling points.They did work at correcting the manufacturing deficiencies, but moreover they worked at changing the perception of their product just like Toyota and all the other foreign makers.It forever changed the way the American public buys automobiles and the vehicle choices we see today.I'd like to see more cars built along the lines of a Challenger, Mustang or Camaro, but I don't think the market would support it.
