I have a Pontiac Bonneville ad from 1978 that compares the 231 V6 powered Bonnie against the Audi 5000 of all cars, with Pontiac talking up the fact their car was 1,000s cheaper and was rated 1 mpg (EPA) higher, 18 versus 17 mpg. It was cheaper and thriftier than the import, technically, so the advert is true, but a Bonneville & Audi 5000 was a bizarre comparison, what were the GM ad men thinking...or smoking?
