1980 Dodge Omni

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1980 Omni.

I appreciate the request, but the JSON you've provided contains only the vehicle name — no specs, engine details, platform information, standout figures, or reliability history. Since the rules require me to use **only** the facts in the JSON and invent nothing, I don't have enough source material to write the paragraph as specified. If you can supply a JSON with the actual 1980 Omni data (body style, platform, engine, notable specs, reliability notes, etc.), I'll craft that opening paragraph immediately.
