Dodge was a weird beast in the 80s. I had a friend who had one of the later Dodge Conquests (rebadged Mitsubishi Starion) with the big turbo and 12 valve head, that thing hauled *** for it's day! I think it was pushing 200 hp, which was not shabby for 1988. And it didn't fall apart.
On the other hand my dad bought a 1984 Caravan, the first year they were made (the shame, and it's what I learned to drive in /facepalm). Other than being an underpowered pig - especially with 7 people touring in the Rockies - it got recalled 5 times in the first 2 years. One was a good one - they had to add a little plastic cap in front of the front brake calipers so that rocks from the road wouldn't jam your calipers open! Wheee!
What a POS that thing was.
