Eagle (US car brand)

Eagle was an automobile brand managed by the US automobile manufacturer Chrysler from 1987 to 1998.

description

After Chrysler bought AMC in August 1987 , the 1453 AMC / Jeep dealers operated under the new brand name Eagle. As before, they sold the Jeep models, remnants of the AMC Eagle , the Eagle Premier , which was still launched by AMC, and in later years some selected models from the Chrysler Group and Mitsubishi models in more or less unchanged form.

In detail these were:

• Eagle Medallion (1987–1989, based on the Renault 21 )
• Eagle Premier (1987–1991, based on the Renault 25 )
• Eagle Summit (1988–1996, based on Mitsubishi Lancer , Mitsubishi Colt and Mitsubishi Space Wagon )
• Eagle Vista (1989–1992, based on Mitsubishi Lancer , Mitsubishi Colt and Mitsubishi Space Wagon , sales only in Canada)
• Eagle Talon (1989–1998, based on the Mitsubishi Eclipse or the Plymouth Laser )
• Eagle Vision (1992-1997, based on the Dodge Intrepid )
• Eagle 2000 GTX (1992–1993, based on the Mitsubishi Galant , only sold in Canada)

In 1998 the brand was dissolved and sales of the Jeep models were split between the other dealers in the group. The already finished successor to the Vision was offered as the Chrysler 300M - although there were advertising photos showing the 300M with the Eagle emblems. There was also a prototype called the Eagle Jazz , which looked very much like a four-door Talon, but was never realized.
