I'm not saying there's anything bad about a Pacer, it's just that their
stying was way out there. AMC did make some pretty good cars, it's just
too bad some of their stying left something to be desired (don't forget
the Gremlin), and they made the foolish mistake of trying to go head to
head with the big three in the muscle car wars instead of sticking with
their bread and butter compact car market.
The Vega, however, is another story. I'm sure the Vega went a long way
towards giving all of Detroit the bad image it got in the '70s and early
'80s. I once actually saw a bunch of mechanics at a service station all
go outside to look at a passing Vega (it was sometime in 1988 or 89).
The couldn't believe one was actually still on the road!
