Buick Reatta

The Reatta sported its own unique body style and was crafted with an attention to detail and quality of finish uncommon for a mass-produced automobile.[citation needed] Initially offered as a hardtop coupe, a convertible version was added for 1990. The Reatta used GM’s ubiquitous 3800 V6 with 165–170 hp (123–127 kW) and 210–220 ft·lbf (285–298 N·m) of torque with the highest output in the last year of production. The car sported a fully independent suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS, and front wheel drive. Top speed was electronically limited to 125 mph (201 km/h). The Reatta was rated at 18 mpg (13.1 L/100 km) in the city and 27 mpg (8.7 L/100 km) on the highway. Every Reatta included a leather book containing the owner’s manual, a flashlight, tire gauge, among other items. Each unit came with a Craftman Log with the signatures of the supervisors for the assembly of the car’s various systems; these slightly unusual items were an attempt to sell the mass-produced car as one built with individual care.
