WI Chrysler kept its A-Bodies through the Seventies instead of focusing on muscle cars?

The A body platform was used for smaller cars like the Dodge Dart and the Plymouth Valiant in the early to mid Sixties. It was discontinued in favor of muscle cars like the Plymouth Duster in the Seventies. As gas prices rose during the energy crisis there was a run on these older compacts while sales of big cars suffered.

But suppose Chrysler had kept its A bodies. Could they have been able to compete with Japanese imports more effectively?
