My buddy's dad had a 1975 AMC Pacer...white and olive green two-tone paint with a white interior. Man, that thing was bad-ass...a fish bowl on wheels!!
Those Japanese cars were probably pretty good, though I hardly ever see them on the road anymore. I owned a '71 Z600 that was great at car shows but it was a pile of junk outside of that, and parts are hard to get.
I see 70's American cars on occasion but almost always they're just baby'd weekend cars. Though I'll see an Omni\Horizon on occasion and it wouldn't shock me that they sold well thanks to being simple and reliable. I know this because I own one.
Want to change the plugs in a Pacer? Okay, but first loosen the motor mounts, jack up the engine and then use a ratchet with a universal joint to get at the plugs nearest the firewall. Sound easy? I don't think so. Decent, well designed engine, but surrounded by a hideous car.
@Ryoku75 would have been great to have a rotary in it, but they were going to buy them from GM, how good could it have been. They never did perfect them until Mazda did.
@ramblergarage And even then they weren't perfect, though my main problem with Mazda is their Poke-styling, they were making pretty nice cars but they had to slap on over-exaggerated Chevy Cavalier grins, even the Miata looks bizarre now.
@ramblergarage Heh, the Pacers a nice looking car. I dunno how people can call the Pacer ugly while cars like the new Fiesta, Mazdas, bubk-tooth Acuras, Razor grilled Fords, and Cubes gain praise for looks.
Man anyone that beleves that add is a complete idiot the fact is American cars are big gas chugging peices a shit with no durability or quality I know I drive one why did I ever buy one Im going back to Asian Fuck you America
Although cute and funny, these really show the propaganda and mind game techniques behind the desire for advertisers to sell us anything they can, any way they can.
Why do all of the YouTube videos have these idiotic 'Create a Cartoon You' pop-up ads? Who gives a sh*t? PLEASE stop putting these moronic ads on videos! Zwinky is nothing but adware and spyware!
@CoyoteStie pop ahead? for the longest time GM was the biggest car company on this planet and how many f series trucks do ford sell a year again? and what about the nissan titan's camshaft recall? yeah, thought so. what american car do you claim to have? i don't see half the japanese cars from the 70's through the 90's on the road as i do american. face it, japanese cars are for sad little people who have no taste, just get me from point a to point b without any joy or passion whatsoever.
The pacer was bad management. Economy car with out the economy. They spent money on the Pacer and Matador coupe that should have went into a new Hornet platform
@helmuthoorn It didnt have to compete with them becasue they were junk and it was a great car. Funny evey car on the road today looks like it, Hmm How Odd!
I'm one of the few that liked the Aztek. I admit it, I'm like the canary in the coal mines when it comes to cars. If I like it -- it's probably a goner.
If they gave away a sandwich with every car would have sold a million of them. OK, maybe not. But that back compartment would have made a great aquarium.
Yes i think that`s worse . But i think the Pacer is cool , quite rare in is ideas , wide track and wide doors , could have been a great car if it has been designed properly
@AgentJayZ I think they look cool, but the interior lacks cargo space under the hatch, the gas mileage is bad, they're slow, and the doors are awkwardly made.

I think it's hilarious that the cars that overtook America were made in Germany and Japan - the countries we whooped just a few years earlier.
That should have taught us something, but it didn't.

I almost bought a Pacer when they came out. I was looking for an economical car with lots of room and a smooth ride.
Believe me, the Pacer had all that. The problem was: it was UGLY. I just couldn't see myself driving this in public. Maybe after dark, but that's it.
