#32: AMC Pacer

Price: $3,599

The AMC Pacer, featured in the Globe and Mail’s worst cars list, had asymmetrical doors intended to enhance its quirkiness and ease rear access. However, transforming it into a station wagon led to significant functional issues.

Though unique, the Pacer’s asymmetrical doors proved impractical for a station wagon, leading to items falling out upon opening. After inflation adjustments, this disastrous design flaw resulted in plummeting sales and a loss exceeding $300 million.
