EDIT: All you eighties babies who don't know of the K-Car...here you go :db:

K-car is a term used to refer generically to the Plymouth Reliant & its sister car, the Dodge Aries. Marketed by the Chrysler Corporation from 1981 to 1989, the cars ranked as some of Chrysler's most successful products. The models are largely credited for helping Chrysler recover from bankruptcy. They also raised the standard for quality for American automakers in general.

I could sworn it was the kei - class that described a whole range of cars... :loco::dunno:
Cars like the Suzuki Wagon R, the Daihatsu YRV & Terios, Honda Life, etc...the truly dinky city cars.

Rough limitations:
• 600cc or less
• 80ish max PS
• 120 km/h top speed
• 3 meters max length (maybe even shorter)

h: At least this is what I remember...meh.

I have one...picked it up for $300 at a local auction. 85 Dodge 600 vert with a garrett non-intercooled 2.2l turbo engine. It's ugly as sin though.

About the "K-car" nomenclature - Manufacturers frequently assign a letter to a car before a name is chosen. Before the cars hit the streets, Chrysler ran ads proclaiming "The K-cars are coming!" The letter K appeared on the Ś81 cars, and the name stuck.
