dhill_cb7 ◊ 2019-05-31 20:57	mike962 I think it was an early option that was discontinued by 1984. American wiki could be wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Eagle

mike962 ◊ 2019-05-31 21:04	it looks liek an off-road and a coupe had a baby

This was a last grasp to bump up sales the way the mid-size Eagle sedan/wagon did a year before, but it was too early for the 4x4 auto craze of the late 80's. They stopped making them because I believe the factory needed to be converted to make the Renault Alliance [9], which was the first truly new model that AMC made since the Pacer.
