Re: the Gremlin... "Were the designers at AMC blind? How could they consistently turn out so many hideous cars?

LOL. Phew, that is funny.

What is funny, in retrospect, was James Bond driving an AMC Matador in "Live and Let Die"!

But, in fairness, I have to confess, I have owned two cars on the list. My 82 Pontiac Phoenix was so bad, that I will NEVER purchase a GM product for the rest of my life. At least my Gremlin (which I traded in for the Phoenix) gave me two years of good service, if you ignore that all four stock tires wore out at 17K miles!

Now, I buy Japanese cars, they're the last people on the planet who give a damn about what they build.

Wow! I thought I was the only one with a vendetta against GM.

I owned a 1986 Pontiac Transam -- the biggest POS car I ever owned. Many, many visits to the shop. I got rid of it after 16K miles (soon after the 12K mile warranty expired and the dealer refused to work on it for free).

I will never own a GM car again (it has been 16 years since I dumped the Transam).

James Bond drove a red Hornet Hatchback in that movie. It was the bad guy Scaramunga or something like that who was in a Matador coupe...remember...it had wings!
