16. Dodge Omni
Although drivers often criticize the Omni for its lack of quality, it was one of the most successful American hatchbacks ever. Dodge offered it in the late ’70s and it was the perfect car for the times. It was modern-looking with decent motorization.
Also, it had lots of space in a contemporary hatchback package, so buyers loved it. In fact, Carroll Shelby even made a pocket-rocket out of an ordinary Omni with the 2.2-liter turbocharged Omni GLH.
