For their time they were waay weird looking, and being AMC were less than great cars. But I drove one when it was used iron at a dealer I worked at. Was pretty bad, slow steering, soft ride, etc., but as a utilitarian car it really wasn't all that terrible---especially for the 70s when it came out. You look at most cars from back then and they were all pretty awful, especially domestics. And few 70s cars really looked all that great, IMHO. The Pacer just looked much too weird to succeed then.
But if you brought one of those out now, with modern drive train, interior, suspension, etc, it would probably sell OK. Wide, roomy, practical--what a lot of people want. It was just an AMC which made it more of a joke than it had to be.
