Malaise Era
Malaise era is a term describing U.S.-market cars from roughly 1973 to 1983. The U.S. federal government released several mandates to reduce pollution and improve the fuel efficiency and safety of cars in this era, which while successful, ultimately resulted in the death of the 1960s-style American muscle car, a marked drop in performance in most American vehicles, and a change in visual styling away from 1960s design cues to generally less popular stylings in the 1970s. Origin of the term The term "malaise era", coined by journalist Murilee Martin, refers to U.S. President Jimmy Carter's malaise speech in which he discussed America's failure to deal with the 1979 oil crisis. Martin claimed the era began in 1973, when the U.S. government released new crash bumper regulations, and ended in 1983, when the Ford Mustang saw a significant performance increase after almost a decade of low performance. The term has since entered wider use, being seen in numerous automotive blogs as w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1970s Energy Crisis
The 1970s energy crisis occurred when the Western world, particularly the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, faced substantial petroleum shortages as well as elevated prices. The two worst crises of this period were the 1973 oil crisis and the 1979 energy crisis, when, respectively, the Yom Kippur War and the Iranian Revolution triggered interruptions in Middle Eastern oil exports. The crisis began to unfold as petroleum production in the United States and some other parts of the world peaked in the late 1960s and early 1970s. World oil production per capita began a long-term decline after 1979. The oil crises prompted the first shift towards energy-saving (particular, fossil fuel-saving) technologies. The major industrial centers of the world were forced to contend with escalating issues related to petroleum supply. Western countries relied on the resources of countries in the Middle East and other parts of the world. The crisis led to stagnant e ...

List Of Best-selling Automobiles
Best selling automobiles are automobile, passenger cars and light trucks which, since the introduction of the Benz Patent Motorwagen in 1886, can claim to being the highest selling vehicles in the automobile markets. While references to verify the manufacturers' claims have been included, there is always the possibility of inaccuracy or hyperbole. A single vehicle can be sold concurrently under several nameplates in different markets, as with for example the Nissan Sunny; in such circumstances manufacturers often provide only cumulative units sold figures for all models. As a result, there is no definitive standard for measuring units sold; Chrysler minivans has sold over 16 million worldwide. Volkswagen has claimed its Volkswagen Beetle, Beetle is the best-selling car in history, as it did not substantially change throughout its production run.
