I think it makes more sense to lump cars together by engine type rather than body style; if you think of it, most of the common engine problems are very fuel-type specific, whereas body issues are not as different among different cars from the same manufacturer from the same era. For example, "My engine isn't starting well" means very different things on a gasser than on a diesel, but "My car clunks when I turn left," or "My window motor blew" are much less model-specific, given similar vehicles made by the same manufacturer during the same general era.
