And when you go up against the estbliird small cars, you've got to be jit least as good. Maybe even a little Utter. That's why we've followed a policy of continuing improvement with the Pinto since it was introduced. Some of these changes r.re rather technical. Many of them you might not even we.

But tiil of them were made to try and make sine that Pinto offered you a little more convenience, a little nunc comfort, nd little nnrc value. One example: the original Pinto us built to run quietly. And we have cn-tinued to try and Rive Pinto at ft ride a nssil.le. In the putt year we have lidded even more juhhuI iiiMil.ttinti, and we have dvi rc tund the exhaust system. Now we can't wy that the Pinto will tide quietly i a Hull Noyce, but you will find it it one little car that's Ircttv easy the cat.

Hcecmly, we've taktn iw opliont that a lot tf people rrm to like with their Pinto, ttttd we-'ve put them t'gethT in a that e-fftrt partifular value.

Your Pinto wilt then be priced at $2393 And ot $2JW, pinto will still le priced below the licst selling 2 -door, 1600 cc model of these imports; the VW Super Ik ttle, the ToyoU Corolla Coupe and Datsun 510. Of course, if you decide not to order this value option group, the price for Pinto is then $2293. The choice is up you.

You see.with Pinto.you don't hove to pay for what you might not really want. But a nice price is only one reawitt we think our Pinto offer a Isltle nire value than the romixtition.

All in all, we think there are a lot of pood reasf.ns why you should consider Pinto before you buy small rar. They really all add up to the fact that we fed our Pinto offers a little more Value than the coinjK tition. If you are determine! to l.x..k at an import look.
