The Dean Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I dig the looks of most of those cars (Cube, Element, VehiCross Smart Car). I don't like the paint job on the Smart Car, but I like the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's different-good, and different-Aztek. Link Sales never reached the 30,000 level needed to make money on the Aztek, so it abruptly went out of production last year.

Steely Dan Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The Cube is a car? I thought it was the box it came in. BTW: Nissan Cube It looks like the designer accidentally put two boxes next to each other and decided that would be a cool car design. Honda Element This is the car the Cube competes with. While it's not a beauty it's much less of an eyesore than the Cube. That's not saying much though. AMC Pacer Another look IMO it's the automotive equivalent of a blowup doll. Here's a list of the top 10 most idiotic cars of all time as chosen by "World Auto News and Reviews". 10. Chevrolet Chevette 9. Edsel 8. AMC Matador 7. Corvair 6. AMC Gremlin - When I was a kid I thought this was the coolest car I'd ever seen. 5. Chevrolet Vega 4. Pontiac Aztek 3. Ford Pinto 2. Yugo - A Cadillac dealer in Florida ran a buy one get one free promotion. If you bought a Cadillac they'd give you a Yugo free. A woman they interviewed said she'd give the car to her maid.

The Senator Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The 1976 AMC Pacer used in the 1992 movie "Wayne's World" is among the items to be sold by an Illinois car museum. Price: $15,000 "Wayne's World," based on a series of skits from the TV show Saturday Night Live, starred Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as two friends with their own public access cable TV show. The Pacer was introduced by American Motors Corp. in 1975. Marketing for the car touted the substantial interior room provided by its extra-wide body. AMC stopped selling the Pacer in 1980.
