cieraguy ◊ 2006-12-22 17:34	In the USA it's called an Eagle Premier. Looks like an ES. First year for these was 1988 although some of the early 1988's were badged as a Renault.

antp ◊ 2007-03-13 10:36	According to Wikipedia, Although it used the drivetrain from the Renault 25 (V6 engine models) and the suspension components from the Renault 21, the body and floorpan structure were unique. But due to that similar style between the Renault 25 and the Eagle Premier for doors & C-pillar I thought that it was just a bigger sedan version of the Renault 25 hatchback. I am not sure that this info on Wikipedia is accurate, though. -- Last edit: 2007-03-13 10:37:15
Hecubus ◊ 2007-03-14 02:20	The Allpar article on the car offers this. As far as I can tell, the Premier (and Monaco twin) were only codesigned by Renault and AMC, although the engine is Renault's. However, Eagle also offered the Medallion, which was a Renault 21.

carcrasher88 ◊ 2012-07-06 02:15	Based on numbers from Allpar, the production list looked like this: 1988 - 45,546 1989 - 41,349 1990 - 14,243 1991 - 11,634 1992 - 4,730 Totaled up, that's 117,502 over 5 model years, and annual average is about 23,500. The car's Dodge equivalent, the Monaco, sold just 21,549 units over 3 model years, for an annual average of 7,183. So, all in all, 139,051 between the two models. http://www.allpar.com/model/premier.html

Terra ◊ 2019-05-02 18:57	This is an LX model, not an ES. The rims were for the LX model.
