most people get dizzy being 10 seconds away from the present, let alone
10 years.

The 1984 Audi 5000 (in the US...) was one of the most revolutionary,
applauded cars ever introduced.  That's why every car on the road today
hints at looking like one.

The 1985 Coupe GT won some magazine's comparison with a bunch of other
rustbuckets.

And of course the Quattro Turbo cars had some fun in the racing world
for a while.
