Just for the record, I thought the Aztec was outrageous the moment I saw it and wondered how it got out of the design stage. As far as the Pacer goes, I almost bought one off a lot which was like new and only had 12,000 miles on it. I think it had a 232 cu in straight six in it and it was pretty zippy! However the mpg was way low and it would be a real gas hog today. Those little foreign cars show how far you can go to try to get transportation for more than one person with high mpg numbers and maybe we will see more of these in the near future? With the new mid-sized Chevie and even the smaller Cadillac you can see the trend is away from land boats.
