Yes, some of these were way more popular than implied. The El Camino in particular is an American classic with rebuilt models still fetching top dollars if you can find one for sale
You are dead wrong about the El Camino. I had an '87 model that looked exactly like the one you have pictured. It was a dream to drive and turned heads wherever I took it. The Monte Carlo chassis and the V-8 meant it was very fast and handled like a dream. I am truly sorry I ever sold it.
Clearly whoever compiled this list of "abominable" cars was not an auto enthusiast or high on crack at the time. There are some real classic rides here.
Though luxurious, powerful, and relatively cheap, this British Mantis had no success in the market with only 32 cars of the first generation sold. Maybe it was just too beautiful for the classy British people
