1987 Plymouth Reliant

With sales down 19 percent part way through 1987, Chrysler announced massive price cuts, of up to 16 percent, and a whittling down of the range to two models, offering a limited number of options. The tooling and other fixed costs of the aging design had long been amortized, so the Reliant could still make money. Front bucket seats, orderable on all models except base, were by 1987 less often chosen.
