So why in the hell couldn't the Americans keep that dominance and breakthrough technology ? I owned one Cadillac,,, a 1980 Eldorado, with the 8-6-4 engine. Spent 2 out of the first 6 months of ownership in the shop. The front bumper was completely ruined by techs resting their feet on it trying to figure out the problems. They ended up disabling the 8-6-4 feature so it would run on 8 cylinders all the time. I believe that was the last new American car I ever bought.
