At the end of the day, AMC hit its stride making smaller cars, and it worked well enough for them in the late fifties to early sixties, and again in the early to late seventies. But they couldn't react to market shifts as quickly with less money, and that bit them in the eighties. By the end, Jeep was the only thing they had any automaker interested in. There were some interesting curiosities like the AMC Eagle, the four-wheel-drive wagon, but that wasn't enough to save them when the Hail Mary move was an alliance with Renault to build... the Alliance."
