The Oldsmobile Starfire, reviving a nameplate from Oldsmobile's past, was a corporate H-body twin to the Chevrolet Monza (among the Buick Skyhawk and Pontiac Sunbird). Unlike the Monza and Sunbird, the Starfire was available only as a 3-door hatchback, and became the first Oldsmobile model since the 1940s to have a 4-cylinder engine. The sport-packaged Firenza became available after introduction, much like the Monza's Spyder package. The Starfire was discontinued after 1980, to be replaced in 1982 by the Firenza J-car.

See the Chevrolet Monza entry for more comments about the Oldsmobile Firenza.
