I can't think of any worthy 80's Pontiac's midsize or compact 'not a muscle car'
Sunbird, Fiero, Pheonix, T100, J2000 (all crap boxes)
Grand Am (sort of muscle car, fwd not in my book)
Astre (Vega)
Ventura II (like a Nova)
I'm just spit balling, thinking out loud, not guessing
& why would they, be in a Car Mag ?
Esprit Firebird, 'Chicks car' low powered, don't remember even what years
