I could actually buy that and be happy!
Maybe this time they can actually get a boxer engine for it, from Subaru...?
I've learnt that the ultimate reason for the Pacer to be a failure was the lack of a promised fuel economic GM boxer engine, and that they instead had to use a big (In this context) old thirsty V8. Hence, it did'nt become the econobox it was intended to be. The design in it self isn't any worse than any contemporary japanese econoboxes, or europeans. Quirks like different sized doors, well, now that was a bit weird...
A little Pacer/Gremlin with a Scooby boxer in WRC trim...
Mmmmmmm...
