I’ll nominate the AMC Pacer for worst car of all time.

My parents and I were loyal AMC customers and even we did not consider a Pacer. I did think the Gremlin was cute but at 6’2”, it was a bit cramped.

Actually I owned an AMC Pacer (1976 model) and it was a pretty dependable vehicle. It had a lot of pep to it and was a great city car - mainly because you could leave it unlocked and not worry about anybody stealing it because even back then, people pretty much laughed at it. But it was also a great car for parallel parking in tight spots.

Yes, it was an ugly car and it was kind of like driving in a greenhouse on wheels, but it got me where I wanted to go and in the mean streets of Boston, that counts for a lot.

I think the Pacer got a bad rap and for that, I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the AMC Pacer.

I've always thought the Pacer was the "Most butt ugly car of all time." HOWEVER...

Nissan has come out with a car that may just take this title away from the Pacer.

My nomination for "Most butt ugly car of all time - The Nissan Cube". Down right UGLY!

“I’ll nominate the AMC Pacer for worst car of all time.”

I disagree. Worst car? ANYTHING made by British Leyland.
