AMC re-born
With 'styling' that apes the AMC Gremlin of the 70's this is never going to suit european tastes. The all-black interior does go with the tomb-like exterior though.
1.) 1975 AMC Pacer: One of the lowest points in the history of car making, the AMC Pacer was a disaster of great proportions on many levels-from the 95hp inline 6-cylinder engine all the way to the terrible fuel economy-18mpg.
The YJ used a 2.5 L AMC I4 or optional 4.2 L AMC I6 until 1991. That year, a fuel injected 180 hp (134 kW) 4.0 L variant replaced the 112 hp (84 kW) 4.2 L straight-6.
Since Chrysler acquired AMC from Renault in ‘87, the Jeep brand has been the domestic manufacturer’s canary in the coal mine. When Jeep’s done well, Chrysler’s done well. When Jeep’s languished, Chrysler’s tanked.

The BEST Car design I have ever seen since a AMC AMX! And I mean that as a compliment! Love that Fastback look! ...
As time went on and the car's name was adapted to newer models from AMC, the original feeling of the car was lost.
The Mustang has been so popular for so long that, over time, it simply blew the old Barracuda, the Challenger, the Camaro, the Firebird and the AMC AMX and Javelin pretenders right off the street.
In an effort to reach every segment of the market, Dodge even reached a hand across the Pacific to its partner Mitsubishi Motors and marketed their subcompact as the Colt to compete with the AMC Gremlin, Chevrolet Vega, and Ford Pinto.
was revealed at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show, but was quickly un-revealed after its first road outing when it displayed all the manners of a Glaswegian pub singer on his third bottle of turps. Some nit had accidentally installed the 5.9-litre V8 AMC ...
The name Jeep is alleged to be from the letters "GP" which was short for general purpose. It was manufactured by Willys, which became part of American Motors and AMC, was eventually acquired by Chrysler Corporation some ten years ago.
This is the car that popularized large FWD sedans in the US and are easily the most reliable cars Chrysler has made since the late 1970s. The LH Platform is an evolution from the AMC/Renault developed "B-body" platform bested known for the Dodge ...
Flared fenders and huge wheels visually "plant" it on the road. The Murano is one of the most futuristic designs on the road, even if the rear end seems inspired by the oft-scoffed AMC Gremlin from the 1970's.
