[Shotimes] OT Pacers was Re: This Forbes guy...

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

The Pacer was "supposed to be" the car that everyone wanted.  AMC
supposedly did lots of market research and found out what people
wanted to see in an affordable car.  Fairly compact size, economical,
roomy inside, particulary for 2 adults in the back seat.  And it WAS all
those things.  Unfortunately, the package left a lot more to be desired.
