The same AMC that brought us the Gremlin?  My grandma had one of those.  Aside from the color (green), I liked it.  It was big for a little car. 

I don't know why, but I liked its character.  It was just dorky enough to be cool! 

Interesting info from Wikipedia:

Legend says it was AMC's designer, Richard A. Teague, who came with up the Gremlin's whimsical name. AMC apparently felt confident enough to not worry about the word's negative connotations. Time magazine noted two definitions for the Gremlin: Defined by Webster's as "a small gnome held to be responsible for malfunction of equipment." American Motors' definition: "a pal to its friends and an ogre to its enemies."

It was introduced on April Fools' Day 1970, a full six months ahead of subcompacts from Ford and GM. It was created to compete with imported cars from Japan and Germany; and although its appearance received some criticism, the Gremlin had an important advantage with its low price.

With AMC's thriftiest six-cylinder engine and base prices below $2,000, AMC's "import-fighter" initially sold well: over 26,000 in its abbreviated first season before the Ford Pinto and Chevrolet Vega were introduced.

I'd kinda like to see someone make a car like this today (okay, maybe update the style a bit), but I would like to have a very simple car with very few things that can go wrong.  No power steering, windows or door locks, no computer controlled fuel injection system, no anti-lock brakes, no fancy theft deterrent system (as if the Gremlin needed one), and no sticker shock!  The worst thing that could go wrong was the radio might quit working... oh well.

Best,
Robert A. Franco
