PAGE 20, WEDNESDAY SEflTEMBER 24, 1980, NEW CAR SUPPLEMENT Buick'7s Fuel Economly Story For 1981 OSHAWA, Ont.-Sevcral factors - some major, some minor - add up to produce a significant improvement in Buick's fleet fuel economy for 1981. Improved aerodynamnics on the new Regal, resulting in 18 percent less drag, make a relatively small overaîl contribution, because only one car model is involved. lncreased use of V-6 engines and the smaller dispiacement V-8, and greater availability of diesel engines, make a relatively large contribution because they involve many car models. Transmission improve- ments, such as extended use of an improved torque converter clutch, availabili ty of the automatic trans- mission with overdrive and low spin-loss clutch plates produce significant fuel economy gains. Extending 10w rolling resistance tires to ail car lines is an important factor, as are WHITBY FREE, PRESS the zero drag front brake calipcrs, first introduced on the Skylark and now stan- dard on ail Buicks. Brougham tioned in a dramatic new modern, wedge-shape ap- pearance with, a low, aerodynamic front ..and a raised deck lid in the rear. A centrai grille theme with extremely fine vertical texture and quad rectangular headlamps retains Grand Prix's classic, elegant look for 1981. New front and rear wrap- around bumpers feature body-colored fascia material combined with -a lower chrome face bar that has permitted Pontiac designers to sculpture the sheet metal continuously around the car !xtending into the biper surface. In a unique arrangement, black rub strips în the front house the parking lamps while crystal lens back- up liglits are located in the rear moulded licence pocket area to give Grand Prix a clean, rich appearance.
