The then new plant in Canada was to build the Eagle Premier; not the AMC Eagle. I know; confusing. AMC had a model, a variant on their old Hornet, in wagon version with a 4WD system. They called it the Eagle.

At the same time AMC started a new division, Eagle, to sell cars that came form their alliance with Renault. This was the Premier, and if it had been offered by either Ford or GM, IMO, could have been very competitive. It was a large FWD sedan with good ride and handling. The Taurus killed it, but it was a very good car for the times.
