I always liked the Pacer.
What’s wrong with the picture: There is a car blocking the view!
You have a thing for feet?
+1
This proves that sex can’t sell everything. It is pretty damn funny though, talk about cognitive dissonance.
It’s not like we don’t still have ads like this today…it just depends on how much you like Megan Fox.
Say, that reminds me. In the current issue of Hemmings Sports and Exotics (I think) there’s an interview with Volvo’s chief designer who goes off on comment about which car has a design feature most resembling a female body part. (A Volvo designer, I suppose, would have special authority on this point.) He replied, as I recall, that some would mention the front of a Jag XK, but he would take the posterior view of an XKE which is upraised in a permanently friendly position.
A nice rear end, but you can’t judge from the picture how front-heavy it is.
And the car’s not bad either.
I don’t see a picture, not even the html frame.
I knew that Renault did an ad campaign like this… I didn’t realize someone else had done it before. Cracked up when I saw it on TV last time I was in Europe:

Well the problem is there’s no car in that picture. Honestly I’ve looked for 10 min and all I can find is a blonde with a nice butt.
What’s wrong with this post?
I don’t see a picture at all, car-babe or Pacer or not.
Me neither.
Ok, maybe if I turn off ABP I’ll see something…
Ha-ha-ha, big butt.
I run ABP and I see it just fine. Thou hast blocked too much!
Soon. . .soon!
3WTP? Not a damn thing.
Somehow this implies visually that she defecated the car, which I doubt they intended.
AMC Pacer is the American Citroen DS21 Goddess
I’ll cheerfully agree to that. I’m currently working on a cleanup plus customization of a ’76 wagon version. Whenever I start walking around the primed body awaiting its new paint, I can’t help but pity the fools who mistook “different” for “ugly” at its introduction. Sadly there is no Year One or Classic Industries devoted to this model, so the savaged interior will end up with a more modern refresh using current-day upholstery and reinforcing materials.
This is Europe, people. A bit less uptight. Now to produce and air this one took real guts:
My germanic is seldom but I’ll guess that slogan reads “the sturdiest ensemble in the world.” An excellent display of engineering prowess, especially as it demonstrates its importance when events go horribly wrong.
Try French or Belgian.
I liked the Pacer, but glad I had my mom buy the Concord instead.
Elke Sommer (or whoever that is) doesn’t look too shabby, either.
Just goes to show that a great arse still can’t make a turd of a car look good.
I worked at an AMC dealer when the Pacer was in production and drove many of these. Although they didn’t seem top last very long, they were very nice and I dare say even luxurious cars to be in. Another really great driving and riding car was the Matador-X (coupe) with a V8 and loaded with options.
Maybe we could get an article on the X one day. They are very rare to see now.
What does a womans bum and a glass fish bowl on wheels have to do with each other?
Ah, the world would be a far drearier place without the French (and Italians).
