Buick Skylark (X-car). 1980–5 (prod. n/a). 2- and 4-door sedan. F/F, 2474 cm³ (I4 OHV), 2836 cm³ (V6 OHV). Buick downsizes the Skylark to more sensible proportions, but, as with the other X-cars, its strong start was soon stunted with reliability issues and recalls. Facelift in 1982 and again in 1985, the last year with the two-door absent.
