01About

About Eagle

The Jeep/Eagle division was created in 1988 soon after Chrysler bought the American Motors Corporation later.

At that time, Detroit brands like Chrysler were attempting to battle growing sales by import brands using the creation that belongs to them import-style sales divisions. Eagle started using the Renault-affected items produced for AMC, the Eagle Premier and also the Eagle Medallion. The relaxation from the division's portfolio was completed by automobiles from Mitsubishi, japan company which had lengthy been Chrysler's partner within the importation of small, fuel-efficient automobiles.

Jeep sales gave some energy towards the Eagle division, but when Chrysler broke the game-utility logo and managed to get open to its very own sellers because the Vehicle boom started within the the nineteen nineties, the Eagle brand rapidly foundered. Chrysler introduced the finish from the Eagle brand in November 1997 and also the last Eagle Talon, a badge-designed form of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, came from the set up line shortly after that.
