The May 1976 issue of Car and Driver dubbed the Pacer The Flying Fishbowl, and it was also described as the seventies answer to George Jetson's mode of transportation at a time when Detroit was still rolling out boat sized gas guzzlers. In mid year 1976 a floor shifted four speed manual transmission was made available on the Pacers. None of the 1976 Pacer drivetrain configurations included catalytic converters and met California's more stringent antipollution standards. The Pacer was also made in Mexico by VAM from 1976.
