«We first introduced Road Runner in '68. It was love at first sight. A performance car for people who want a car to perform. A car with a low price for people who haven't stashed away their first million yet. A car with a personality for people who don't just think of a car as a hunk of iron that moves. It all clicked. In 1969 Motor Trend named Road Runner, "Car of the Year". For 1970, we present a new Road Runner. We changed it very carefully. In the right places, for the right reasons. You'll love it. Again. The loved bird.»
