Famous for Catching Fire: Chevrolet Vega - Car models

The Chevy Vega originally came to market with the potential to go down as one of GM's best cars of the 70s. It ended up becoming an embarassing failure. Before we start into the Vega, we just want to say that we didn't intend for this series to be a list of only American cars. The Mini and the Ferrari 458 Italia have also had quite a bit of fire problems, with the 458 being the most justifiably famous recent case. But those two cars were recently covered in other series, so we skipped them for this one, The Chevrolet Vega is very different from the other cars which caught fire, as this was potentially done on purpose.
