  Chevrolet Vega - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vega engines (except for the Cosworth) typically burned oil not due to cylinder wear (which was the rumor) but instead due to poorly designed valve stem seals.
Forgotten today is that the Vega was a strong seller, especially in the wake of the Arab Oil Embargo, which drove Americans away from traditional large cars in favor of smaller compacts such as Vega, Ford Pinto, AMC Gremlin, and especially foreign imports.
To dispel the Vega's sagging sales and reputation, Chevrolet made many internal improvements to the 140 in³ four-cylinder engine for the 1976 model and backed this engine with an unprecedented "5-year, 60,000-mile warranty" at a time when most new cars and their drivelines were backed by one-year, 12,000-mile warranties.

 Inside Line: Chevrolet Small Cars: Cobalt, Cavalier, Monza and Vega - Fighting the Foreign Wars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Chevrolet's mission is, as it has always been, to be GM's value leader in the mainstream of the American car market.
While the Vega's 97-inch wheelbase and 169.7-inch overall length meant it was large for a "small" car (the rear-drive Toyota Corolla then on sale was 161.4 inches long and rode on a 91.9-inch wheelbase), it was otherwise pretty much similar to the Japanese competition.
The "Vega GT" (available as a hatchback or wagon) filled that same rectangular pod with circular instruments including a tachometer and used a four-spoke steering wheel that, like the seats, would soon be a familiar sight across the Chevrolet range.

 CanadianDriver: Motoring Memories - Chevrolet Cosworth Vega, 1975-1976
The Chevrolet Vega was part of the second wave of "import fighters" from the American auto manufacturers; the first were the 1960 Chevrolet Corvair, Ford Falcon, and Chrysler (later Plymouth) Valiant.
The Cosworth Vega was finally introduced to the public at the 1975 Chicago Auto Show, almost two years after it was first announced, and six years after the idea was conceived.
Unfortunately for the Cosworth Vega it had two serious strikes against it: its performance didn't live up to its promise, and the Vega's poor reputation had preceded it.

 AutaBuy - Details for 1975 CHEVROLET COSWORTH VEGA
In 1970, Chevrolet engineers began working closely with a now famous engine development company in England, Cosworth Engineering Ltd., to design a new European Formula 2 engine based on GM's innovative aluminum silicon alloy 4 cylinder block.
In later press releases Chevrolet would state; "The Cosworth Vega is a highly sophisticated sports concept designed to generate excitement and bolster interest in the GM domestic small car market" It also added "another marketing objective is to establish the design superiority and engineering excellence of (this) Vega option in the minds of knowledgeable enthusiasts".
Chevrolet, after a three year development program and a one year delay associated with a failure to achieve EPA certification in 1974, began building the first of approximately 2,061 1975 1/2 Cosworth Twin Cam Vegas (RPO Z09) in March, 1975.
