Competition:
Look at what the Acclaim LX was up against in its heyday, a bunch of garbage, ugly, pieces of shit throw-away cars. These all were half-ass engineered and behind its time, what is with GM and their stubborness in not even having real cupholdes and other nice things like a trunk lid that goes all the way down to the bumper? I do not get it. American manufacturers besides the Chrysler Corporation were definitely not paying attention to much. Cars with * denotes a partially nice car but the standard model is total garbage. Cars with ** denotes nice car anyways. Such as (alphabetically):
Buick Century, Limited*
Buick Skylark
Chevy Corsica, LTZ*
Ford Tempo
Mercury Topaz
Olds Achieva, SL*
Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera
Pontiac Grand Am, GT*
This is all I can think of right now and I am not going into Imports, but I do have a few likes on this page but the others I would never buy unless I planned on beating it to death. Just kidding, none of these is the bad but a "Car and Driver" magazine said something along the lines of even if you bought an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, if you sat in you neighbor's Acclaim, you wouldn't want your Cut Ciera anymore.
I often call my LX the BMW Acclaim. It handles well, drives smooth, nice sounding V6, accelerates amply and, get this, I have a Blue, Maroon, White Acclaims, B.M.W.!
