13: 1973 Hornet Hatchback
During the ’70s, AMC was attempting to throw anything at the wind to get success. The problem with the cars was that many of them were made from a dated parts catalog. The company was lacking the resources for research and development on future models. The Hornet Hatchback had a reasonable V8 engine, but fuel economy was horrible. Aside from the lackluster fuel economy, the car also had reliability issues.

AMC was pushing the Hornet as a new-age performance car, but in reality, the parts dated back to the ’60s. The AMC V8 engines were aged at best and a lot of the issues caused the cars to lose steam. The Hornet might have stood a better chance if the car was more reliable. The car world will never know since AMC became defunct.
