After Chrysler bought AMC in 1987 it spun off its successful Jeep division and then tried to cannibalize the rest into its new Eagle division using a hodge-podge of AMC, Renault, and Mitsubishi designs. The result was, unsurprisingly, confusing to both consumers and critics. The brand never really took off so Chrysler killed it in 1998.
