Be careful guys - the AMC Eagle may not have been pretty, or well built, or the best car in the world, but give it credit for being ahead of it time.

I don't agree at all with atlanta2004m3's derogatory comments made against the X6, but the Eagle came out in 1979 (1980 model) and the Audi Quattro wasn't even shown until 1980 Geneva Motor Show.

It just suffered from being US made, poorly executed, etc., but in truth, the AMC Eagle was the great-grand daddy of the SUV, SAC, or whatever.
