History
The Plymouth Reliant was launched in 1981 as part of Chrysler's strategy to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles in response to the oil crises of the 1970s. The K-car platform, which underpinned the Reliant, was instrumental in Chrysler's recovery from near bankruptcy. The Reliant's success helped establish the K-car as a symbol of Chrysler's resurgence, and it remained in production until 1989, when it was replaced by the Plymouth Acclaim.
