Here's a trailer for the 1989 movie "The Wizard".  Watch closely (or pause it) at the 0:10 mark:

My daughter has been watching the movie MegaMind daily for the past few days.  I have not really paid much attention to it, but today I had to pause it and back up the movie frame by frame.  I noticed a Rambler AMerican on the side of the road in one shot. 

Then right after that shot they show a parking lot in the background with what looks like a woodgrain Concord.

in Darius Rucker's music video "this" there is a red nice looking pacer. and i finally had time to get some pics of the pacer (a.k.a. rhapsody) from the grand theft auto game "the lost and dammed"



this is the front of this car but as you can see it is a vw golf front end. :-\

Very Pacer like.  There are some differences though.  Someone's idea of what they thought a Pacer should look like?

I'm no expert, and without looking up pics of the pacer, it looks like the got the front end/grille wrong.  The back looks close, but I can't place it, but when I look at the hood near the front, it don't look right.

Actually, it's not a bad look for the car, it's just not accurate.

Sometimes, that's the best a videogame can do...Depends on how much eye for detail they had or what the graphics and available space allowed them to do.

it's all copy right garbage, they make it look exact dodge can sue because they own the AMC name and what not.  If you ever pay real close attention to tv shows they may have products that look like something (for example a pringles can) and it says something like "chips" on it so that they cannot be taken to court for using a name and not paying for it

Front end does look kind of like a VW golf.  But it kind of looks to me like a Hornet front end.
