3. AMC Gremlin
If there’s a list of odd and bad-sounding car models in the market, then surely the AMC Gremlin will consistently land in the list. But in this listing, the design of the Gremlin puts it on the worst list. The AMC brand has been known for delivering some ‘terrible and odd cars’ in the market, but the subcompact Gremlin leads that dishonourable list no thanks to an awkward design. There’s the elongated hood that can be seen as an exercise by designers to create Mustang-like moments but failed obviously. Take a good look at the rear end of the Gremlin and you’ll know why some quarters think that this is one of the badly designed cars. It’s as if the rear end was not planned at all, or worse, an indication that the designers have given up and remained uninspired with this model.
