The group was well-balanced ideologically-improbably so-but a certain tilt existed: eight of the nine players served the Carter Administration...
Toyota showed several new models, including the SV-3, its first sports car since the 2000 GT in 1967. The company's FX1 car has glassed-in roof pillars and windshield wipers hidden under a sliding shutter. The doors tilt and glide out. It also has a voice-command system similar to Nissan's.
