When the Liberty first came out something about it seemed familiar, but
I couldn't quite put my finger on it.  A few months later someone at
work got one and as I was walking past it one day I looked inside to try
to get the view you would get driving down the road, and that feeling of
familiarity was even stronger.

A few hours later it hit me.  With those curved bulges going down the
hood following the shape of the headlights it is very reminiscent of a
much maligned AMC product... and that product took that shape from an
even older AMC product.

The original AMC product was the American, the newer one was the
immortal Pacer.

Go ahead, take a look and tell me I'm nuts (it wouldn't be the first
time <G>), and remember I'm talking about shapes you would see out the
windshield.

Yup! I can see it! Four round black tires and two round headlights. :-)

Are you implying that there was something wrong with a Pacer?

Something was right with it?

Who, me?

There was (and is) a lot wrong with the Pacer, but that doesn't change
the fact I've always sort of liked them... but they I tend to like weird
cars.

I still think a nice Gremlin would be pretty cool.

It depends.  Do you tend to sing Bohemian Rhapsody while driving down
the road?

More importantly, do they come with red licorice dispensers in the ceiling.

EXCELLENT!

I've never been much of an AMC fan, but the pacer was "interesting", and
certainly more distinctive than the Matador.

"Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and
played a girl bunny?"

"No." (Laughs) "No."

"Neither did I. I was just asking."
