You people smirk at a Pacer! Just remember it is what Honda copied for
its Civic. Where else can anyone get a full width compact car? Had it
had a decent engine they would still be building the things today.
Let's not forget; REAR WHEEL DRIVE!

You are forgetting the V8 Pacer, a late-life cobble-up that couldn't
save the patient. Of course some may quibble that the AMC V8 doesn't
fall into the "decent engine" category.
As to Honda copying the Pacer, I have a higher regard for them than
that. And I am having trouble figuring out just what they might have
copied.
Finally, here's the mandatory TR content: After I separated my wife from
her Pacer, then waited an acceptable period for her to mourn, I brought
joy to her life with a 2500M TVR. At least that's how I saw it.
