The AMC Pacer set out to develop the first cab-forward design, moving the front of the car even further forward, much like what one would now anticipate seeing in trains. It is frequently referred to as a “nerdy” car because it lacked appropriate air conditioning, smelled awfully of chemicals associated with “new car smell,” and had all of these other issues. It is a car model that is frequently cited as being among the worst ones ever. The AMC Pacer was named the “Worst Car Design of All Time” by Hagerty Insurance Agency in 2007, and it came in at number 20 on Edmunds.com’s list of the Worst Cars Ever.
