@FromaBuick6: Certainly one of the squarest of the AMC's!
In retrospect and after reading the road-test at AROnline, it was a car doomed by circumstances and not by poor design (although the phrase "Lucas Electrics" always sends a cold shiver down my spine).
@Muscles Marinara: @FromaBuick6: I used to work with a woman who had a '75 Caddy. She said it averaged about 8 MPG in the city. Three cheers for inefficiency!
@spuy767: Wow...absolutely sucktastic! I figured a mid 70's GM product would take the prize.
@☠Grяrяrяrяrя, now with twice the bacon!: Wow, those are some pretty disappointing numbers. Technically, the Cougar 302 made .44 hp/ci, which is a real powerhouse compared to the dogs you've listed!
Somewhere, in a government file cabinet, on a routine maintenance record, listed under "condition of turbine shaft," there's an entry that reads "perky."
Wow, a whole 134 HP? That's getting down to the .33 hp/cubic inch mark, which is impressive.
Who says I'm NOT stupid and boring?
I'm thinking that automobile manufacturers should fill their airbags with Jiffy Pop popcorn. I mean, come on, you've got to detonate the sodium azide anyway, so you might as well put it to work.
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Or a huge blueberry muffin. Mmmmmm...muffins!
Holy sh*t, this is just unspeakably awful. I feel embarrassed just looking at the pictures.

Between selling out to the Chinese and the killing off the V70 for North America, this has been a very disappointing week.
@grifonik: Well done sir! But is that a Camaro, or secret spy satellite?
I like it, but how does the driver see over that thing???? Making right turns must be a bitch.
@Spirit Of Ecstasy: MPG? What MPG? But in this case, that's okay. :)
@BLVC25: Yeah, I know. It's always the same story. "Hey, we have this nice sport-wagon for the rest of the world, but for you fat-assed Americans, here's a huge ugly bloated SUV." This certainly isn't a new phenomenon.
Lane splitting is commonly practiced in my state, but with the current wave of drivers not paying attention to actually driving and being incredibly rude, impatient and belligerent, I can see it leading to just as many accidents (as people attempt to change lanes because they're in the wrong one and not expecting a…
@allexedup: I'll give you half of my meatballs. In a strange twist of irony, the only reason you could even carry half a million meatballs is because you own a Volvo wagon!
