Can someone explain the Eagle car brand that lasted through 1997?
I was looking at some old car magazines and I saw a brand called Eagle it consisted of like four cars and they all looked like re badged models from other car brands. Summit, Talon, Vision, Premier...was this just a umbrella name for these re badged vehicles kind of like Geo was 1989-1997?
Eagle was the last vestige of the once-proud America Motors Corp. After a failed partnership with Renault, AMC was bought out by Chrysler Corp., which wanted the still-valuable Jeep brand. AMC was left without any vehicles to sell, so Chrysler re-badged an assortment of vehicles.
The Vision wassupposed to have a somewhat sportier character than its siblings, the "cab-forward" Chrysler Concorde/300M and Dodge Intrepid, The Premier started life as a Renault design, while the Summit and Talon originated at Mitsubishi.
Pundits at the time noted that the last time a car manufacturer tried to launch a brand starting with"E" and containing five letters (Edsel) it hadn't ended well.
Neither did this experiment.
