OSHAWA, Ont. -
1980 Skylark is the, ant
Buick to feature a transverse-
mounted engine - and only
the second to offer. front-
wheel drive, following by
only six months the in-

troduction of _ the 1979
Riviera.
The aim in engineering

Skylark was to produce a car
with abundant usable pas-

_senger and luggage space, all

the detail and refinements for
an agile yet comfortable ride,
and a styling theme that was
recognizably Buick.

Efficient space utilization
is achieved by several means,
the most important of which
is the use of transverse front-
wheel drive. This config-

_ uration permits the packag-

ing of the entire drivetrain in
front of the passenger
compartment. Except for the
exhaust and fuel systems, the
remaining portion of the
vehicle is left available for
passengers and possessions.

In combination with
MacPherson strut suspension
in the front and a trailing axle
in the rear, the positioning of
the engine at a 90° angle to
the longitudinal axis of the

car allowed engineers con- —

siderable savings in weight

_and outside dimensions.

The United States Environ-
mental Protection Agency
interior rating index for the
1980 Skylarks is slightly-more
than the 1979 models, yet
they are approximately 483
mm (19 in.) shorter, 127 mm
(5 in.) narrower and 340.9 kg
(750 Ibs.) lighter than their
predecessors. Although
mounted on a 2664 mm
(104.9 in.) wheelbase rather
than the 2819 mm (111 in.)
wheelbase used in 1979, front
leg and hip room are in-
creased and front head and
shoulder room = are only
slightly: reduced. In the rear
seat, the head, leg and hip
room. are slightly increased
while there is a small decrease
in shoulder room.

INTERIOR TRIM MATERIALS in the new 1980 Buick Skylark Limited Sedan include a new tan and white or bine :
and white  hounds-tooth cloth on either the standard split bench seat or the available notchhback seat.

Engineering for the 1980's

The 1980 Skylark sedan’s
trunk capacity is increased’ —
more than 28.3 litres (J cu.
ft.) compared to its 1979
counterpart, while’ trunk
room in both the 1979 and
1980 Skylark coupes is the
same - 404 litres (14.3 cu. ft.).

The standard- powerplant
in the 1980 Skylark is the 2.5
litre (151 CID) 2-barrel L-4.
A 2.8 litre (171 CID) 2-barre!
V-6 is available on all
models. The latter is a 60°
configuration with an
aluminum intake manifold
for quick warm-up and good
cold engine driveability.

To improve comfort and
quiet operation, an isolated
engine cradle is used to
support the engine, drivetrain
and front lower control arms.
Compared to conventional
body integral construction,
this design provides im-
proved engine and road im-
pact isolation to the pas-
senger compartment.
