 | AMC promoted the Gremlin as "America's first subcompact" and as "cute and different." By it's final year of production in 1978, 671,475 Gremlins had been built. The Gremlin is a car greatly ridiculed for it's box-like looks, terrible 70s workmanship, horrid handling and slug-like performance. It is generally recognized as one of the worst cars ever built. |
