I never thought the Gremlin was so ugly. I think they were ahead of their time. I always kind of liked them. They were AMC's answer for the shrink the car crowd buying European brands, same as Vega and Pinto (4cyl-only). They weren't trying to be sexy for that market. More like a bold new idea which VW and others followed into and the '80s. The Gremlin X was like the mini-AMX in my eyes. It wasn't trying to look like one but the proportions are similar. I have to agree the Matador and Pacer were some ugly designs. But the Gremlin has crisp sharp lines that go together. They just left the butt-end off
