    Thanks, I have seen this before but couldn't help myself to view it again. Something that caught my attention was the SVO decal located on the front fender of the test car there has been some debate whether this belongs or does not belong over the years. I worked at a Ford dealer and saw one roll of the hauler in October 1983 with these decals as I was allowed to drive this car and wrote a comparison report for my college english class against the Plymouth Laser Turbo. On the other hand I believe those who had a new one delivered without the decals. Leads me to believe some early varieties had them and some others did not.

    Thanks for finding and posting this old Motorweek video. I have not seen this before. It is very interesting to see these videos from the eighties to get their perspective on the SVO when they were new.
