...code-named Topaz, have a four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive and a sloping hood. They are designed to compete head-on with the Chrysler K-cars, the Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant, and the General Motors X-body models: the Chevrolet Citation, Pontiac Phoenix, Oldsmobile Omega and Buick Skylark...
...remains best placed to withstand the current tempest, and will probably be the only Big Three automaker to earn a profit this year. Its very successful X cars, such as the Chevrolet Citation and the Buick Skylark, are helping the company maintain its market share. This fall GM will introduce shrunken or downsize intermediate cars like the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Buick Regal. Its J car is due in April 1981, and will be a sporty subcompact successor to such models as the Chevy Monza...
...slightly different body, as well as a different name. Chevrolet's model will be called the Citation, and it will replace the current Chevy Nova. Three other divisions will use the same names that they now have on their compacts: Pontiac Phoenix, Oldsmobile Omega and Buick Skylark. The cars will be classified as 1980 models, giving them a five-month sales lead over the later-starting competitors that will come out when the model year formally begins in the autumn. Between April and September, GM aims for sales of 325,000 X cars. Company executives talk of selling...

By contrast, the traditional standard or full-size cars now account...
...flaws, Ullmann has a thin voice with a narrow, monotonous range. In a Bergman film, with its still, deep pauses, this is not immediately apparent, but onstage it becomes a cumulative irritant. Ullmann's English is good, but not quite good enough. Taking the skylark and "little squirrel" imagery of the play literally, she skitters about the stage like a sandpiper. This does not destroy Nora's coquettishness, but it certainly diminishes it. There seems to be an arbitrary rhetoric of motions with which Ullmann plays the role. When she fears that her husband Torvald (Sam Waterston) will...
