2012-07-16 16:47 | UltraRazza a écrit For European standards, the Pacer was pretty crap. Indeed...enthusiasts often forget that car cultures differ the world over, and the criteria for what constitutes a good vehicle also differ accordingly. Europeans did not understand why American manufacturers would sell a "compact" with the dimensions and fuel economy of a mid-size car, and potential buyers from the nations saddled with displacement taxes lamented having to pay 4.2 liter taxes on a car with 120 horsepower. In America, by contrast, the Pacer was at the time applauded for its spacious, comfortable interior and smooth highway ride, two things that pretty much all European compacts of the day lacked. Likewise, the big 4.2 liter six meant that the car made an impressive 200 foot pounds of torque, with a comfortably flat torque curve from just over 1,600 rpm all the way to redline. This made the car accelerate well from any speed, made it a fantastic highway cruiser, and even made it capable of towing small trailers, boats, and campers with considerable ease. Sadly, nobody seems to remember the Pacer for anything today except for its odd styling. Hopefully exposure through games like Forza will improve that perception. |

2012-06-09 00:15 | For European standards, the Pacer was pretty crap. Longer than a European Ford Granada, thirstier than a Jaguar XJ6 and with dodgy goldfish bowl looks. But I think it's a handsome old hector and well done Forza for putting it in. |
