The Vega was a subcompact car sold from 1971-77. Available in coupe, hatchback and station wagon body styles, it was based on the GM H platform.
It was followed by the 1975-80 Monza. The Vega was Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 1971.

When the Vega was introduced, Detroit's Big Three, along with American Motors, were entering the compact car market to compete with the Volkswagen Beetle and Japanese imports from Toyota and Datsun.

All standard Vegas were equipped with a 2.3 L "2300" SOHC I4.

Camaro

The Chevrolet Camaro was introduced in North America by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors at the start of the 1967 model year as competition for the Ford Mustang. Although it was technically a compact car (by the standards of the time), the Camaro, like the entire class of Mustang competitors, was soon known as a pony car. It may also be classified as an intermediate touring car, a sports car, or a muscle car. The car shared the same General Motors "F-Body" platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced in 1967. Production of both cars ceased in 2002.
