How about the Pacer, the Gremlin, or the Spirit? (all AMC)

too ugly a body style. the Monza looked better.

The Pacer looked like a rolling fish bowl.

Both the Gremlin and the Pacer have this geek-chic thing going for them, goofy but with a certain oddball charm, that make them desirable enough to stick around, those that survived thus far.

Subaru’s several efforts at a sport coupe are another, I especially admired that Citroenesque SVX, great ski cars, fast and stable. Didn’t care for the bifurcated side glass, but if it was going to roll down that’s how it was going to look, apparently. Very nice line and proportion otherwise.

When AMC Gremlins ruled at Talladega Superspeedway ...

... Most races were sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association and featured multiple classes. The IMSA RS series featured such makes and models as AMC Gremlins, Ford Pintos, BMW 2002s, Honda Civics, Mazda RX-2s and Datsun 510s. The IMSA GT series featured the larger and faster BMW CSLs, Chevrolet Corvettes and Camaros, Porsche Carerras and 911s and Datsun Z cars.

Those little buzz bombs could really haul ass and it was fun to watch but you needed industrial-strength ear protection.
