    I would put any car made in the last 20 years in this list before I would put most of the ones that are there.
    Lots of FREE F/Z info on my site.

    I notice that the moron who wrote that drivel didn't have the balls to attach their name to it.

    Moron. Nameless. Baseless.Inaccurate.

    The Fox Capri and the previous 1968 Mark 1 Ford Escort based 1969-1978 Mercury dealer sold 1600/2300/2600/2800 Capri were high points in style and quality. Sales proved it. Gad some people cheeze me off.

    The internet is full of this grey slurry corner shop journalistic crud.

    I'd love to have a nice Pintostang or Gremlin! Unique in their own way!
    I was actually looking for them (or a Pinto, another Maverick) when we got the Granada instead.
    83 5.0 GT. Quicker than it looks! 10:1 (or just over) 306, Motorsport a332 cam, 140A alt, t5 conv, 8.8 w/ 3.27's, Edel rpm, alum rad, very worked e7's, Holley SA carb, etc... SOLD IT!!!!

    Now an 1981 Granada! .040 over 302, Edel E-street heads... Currently building a 347 because, why not?

    Was driving my Dad’s 79 turbo Capri home from some run somewhere. Followed a Gremlin around a corner and got smoked by him climbing a hill. Probably a 318 swap into the Gremlin, but wow.

    There is a healthy sounding 401? Gremlin X around town here.
    Did not know it was said they were well built cars for their size.
    Also LT-1, Northstar, Fieros, one front V8 Fiero. Indy and IMSA Fieros seen. Undentable bowling ball proof doors.

    This one looks interesting. Many AMC had sharp comfy interiors.


    Article was not bad if looking deeper into the cars mentioned.
    The van looks kinda cool boxy with roof windows.
    Lots of the domestic cars listed are worth a look at car shows or even owning.
    Family and friends had/has several of them for daily driving. Couple Vegas, a red Maverick, El Camino.
    New 1984 loaded Cavalier was a real nice one, Lt brown metallic, brown velor interior. Looked like a Cimarron.
    1987 V6 maroon Fiero. black Z24 Cavalier, lt blue Sunbird was a fav..
    Lots of survivors are under the radar on the road at shows or 10th owner dd.

    Clickbait article seems like it was written in a foreign language and poorly translated. Or maybe they even have AIs that can do stuff like this.

    Many obvious choices and many I agree with: Gremlin, ANY Citroen, EL CAMINO (I HATE those), Early '70s van/pickups, Aztek, Volvo 240, Thing, Juke, Late '50s to early '60s Mopar and GM... mid '70s ANYTHING is another obvious target...

    As a car fan who started in the '80s and '90s, I find these choices odd for a list like this: Capri, Sunbird, Cimmaron (may have been a bad decision, but it wasn't ugly), Taurus, K-car, Metro, Alante, Celebrity... if you hate those cars, guess what, you just hate the '80s. I actually LIKED the Storm when it came out...

    I wish there were articles like this with some actual SUBSTANCE.

    You can always tell when somebody is completely out of ideas of things to write about because they make up worst/ugliest list articles like this.

    You could have had an encounter with a Gremlin X, They put the 304 motor in them.
    My sister had a 72.Was going to teach me how drive a stick with it, but got married and moved before we did it.
    Mom taught me on dad's six cylinder F1-150 instead.
