Pacer--a truncated Kenosha Kadillak, built on the same platform as the Matador, and almost as heavy.
Funny thing was the previous "Worst evah" was a toss-up. AMC's Gremlin or Lordstown's Vega?
Gremlin got style points for the cheap trick of simply and cleanly chopping off a Hornet's trunk, giving a whole new meaning to design "coup".
For a brief while the Gremlin had the distinction of being so-ugly-it's-cute, thus turning it into the "Gotta have it. Gotta have it NOW. Yes, I'll pay two grand extra." quest of automotive heat-seekers.
The heat-seeker: every car salesman's wet dream. Has there been a genuine heat-seeker's car since the PT Cruiser?

Whoa, the Matador. Now that was one ugly-ass vehicle.
The Pacer, a goldfish bowl on wheels.
Try as they might, GM never came up with anything quite that ridiculous.
The Pacer was the first car I owned all on my own. Before Wayne's World, for the record....
