"When the EPA first started putting restrictions on car engines, it was a disaster for the motorist. The cars of 1973 were the worst cars ever built. The relative performance levels of 1972 were not restored until well into the mid 90s, and that took a revolution in computerized engine management."

This may have been true for american cars but japanese and german cars were thriving and improving all through the 70s and 80s.
