Vehicle Highlights
GM's smallest American-built car, the Sunbird, shared chassis and powertrains with the Chevrolet Cavalier. Sunbirds were available as a 2-door coupe in LE, SE, and GT trim. Both the 4-door sedan and 2-door convertible models came only in an LE trim level. Nearly all Sunbirds came with a 96-horsepower, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine as standard equipment. The lone exception was the GT model, which featured a 165-horsepower turbocharged version of the same engine. The turbo was also optional for the convertible.
