What kind of car did you picture Janine driving instead of a Volkswagen Beetle?

As a kid I pictured her driving a Chevy Citation (this was before I found out they were one of the worst vehicles GM ever built).

I'm not sure cause frankly I am not knowledgeable of cars. Frankly though all I can think of with this topic is the episode Beneath these streets where they have to take her car cause of Ecto 1 being too far away and her car ends up under the street because of an earthquake that happens. Poor Janine! Probably cost a lot of money to get it it out of the deep hole in the street it fell into!

I do remember the segment where they had to borrow her car because the Ecto-1 was way too far away, I'm sure the Ghostbusters were embarrassed by having to borrow her car (especially Egon), I do wonder if they ever retrieved Janine's vehicle or not.

A citation isn't far off now I come to think of it. That was an embarrassing vehicle (we had one).

To support this, she was a person who used taxis and the subway. Car was probably in the shop or just rotting in a car park.

I have heard the Citation and its X-body siblings were one of the worst vehicles ever built and that's what lead them into buying the Japanese cars, I can see why she would occasionally use a taxi or a subway to get around.
