:kots: to the Variant and the AMC Pacer.

The front of the Variant looks like a 70s Corvette.

The idea of a 914 Variant has promise, a la BMW 2002 tii Touring, but that thing's just plain ugly. :bn:

the AMC Pacer's are now becoming a collectors item here, they get snapped up by the people in the know.

OMG. Can someone say FUGLY :kots:

I personally think if they at least kept the original 914 nose, it would've been an improvement, but I doubt if it would get past my "Fugly detector" !!
