The Gremlin benefited from being a cut-down Hornet, which was also a very clean, uncluttered design that luckily for cash-strapped American Motors, also aged very well.

Dodge Colt/Plymouth Champ/Mitsubishi Mirage

Pretty nifty huh? and the rear parcel shelf was big enough to hold these bitchin speakers.

I'm going with the chaos theory here. No same-colored body panels touch! How clean is that?

Alfasud sprint. It made a pretty hatchback even prettier.

Alfa 145 is a good choice.
