1993-02 Pontiac Firebird

Firebirds are styled more aggressively than Ford's Mustang, and exhibit more muscle-car character, though a Mustang is easier to live with for everyday driving...

1997-02 Plymouth Prowler

Simply put, Prowler is a sunny-day lifestyle statement, not a mere means of transportation. Once well-heeled buyers paying over list were sated, prices stabilized closer to sticker. Lack of cargo [...]
