Okay, we'll have to agree to disagree about the other cars' assessments. I do appreciate your more measured response, but I will take mild exception about the TC (as well as the "abomination" status of the Crossfire) The Cimarron was a gussied up Cavalier. The TC however was, like the VX, a halo car and pre-dates the Le Baron.

From Hemmings:

A concept was shown at the 1986 Los Angeles Auto Show, where the car was erroneously billed as a 1987 model. Timing, it’s said, is everything, and production delays pushed back the introduction of the Chrysler TC by Maserati to the 1989 model year. While the loss of momentum over 24 months was bad enough, the TC came to market looking a bit too much like the regular Chrysler LeBaron convertible, which had launched in a version wearing strikingly similar bodywork during the TC’s delayed development. Instead of using the De Tomaso-bodied Italian halo car to sell LeBarons, Chrysler was faced with the unenviable task of explaining to buyers why the TC cost twice as much as the visually similar LeBaron it was parked next to.
