[Firebird]

New question:

When this car debuted it featured a 2.3 L, 80 hp engine; when production ended it had been replaced by a 2.7 L engine with three different power outputs. Name the car.

 

[High-Test]

Dodge Aries?

 

[Firebird]

Nope. (that car had a base 2.2 L with 84hp when it debuted, and ended up keeping the 2.2 L engine throughout the production run; by the end of production it had adopted a throttle-body fuel injector over the original carburetor, good for 93 hp. A Mitsubishi 2.6 L was optional originally, replaced later by Chrysler's 2.5 L)
