The AMC Eagle was an all-wheel drive passenger auto made by American Motors Corporation (AMC). August 1979 was when the Eagle first "flew" into the picture as a brand new 1980 product). It showcased the coupe, wagon, as well as the sedan. It is thought that the design was developed as an off shoot of the Concord model. Even though it had 4 wheel drive, AMC did not promote the Eagle as an off-road vehicle. The Eagle's all wheel traction was promoted in areas like up north in the snow belt as a safer means fo travel.

The AMC Eagle merged with Chrysler's new Jeep-Eagle division in 1988. All in all, the total amount of Eagles sold by American Motors was 196,255 units.

In the end, the four-wheel-drive Eagle wagon by AMC was dropped, Chrysler kept with the spirit of the original by offering all-wheel-drive on cars like 1992-96 Eagle Summit Wagon, the Canadian 1989-91 Eagle Vista wagon, & Mitsubishi's 1990-98 Eagle Talon model, .

The Eagle brand ended up being diluted by the different kinds out there that it eventually failed to capture the market. Folks frequently mistakenly called them "Jeep Eagles", as they have been doubtlessly confused by the manufacturer getting sold beside Jeep and the "Jeep Eagle dealership" becoming a frequent phrase employed in the era's TV commercials. As name recogition faltered, revenue never met sales expectations and Chrysler quietly eliminated the Eagle brand name right after the 1998 product year.

In the 1984 Eagle, there were a few changes to take note of. The Series 50 SX/4 was eliminated for 1984. Left in its place was the Series 30 Eagle sedan and wagon. The wagon helped to lead the way for both the Eagle collection as well as the AMC brand. Since the SX/4 was gone, the wagon was the only one left to have the Sport option package. There were 4,241 4-door sedans and 21,294 station wagons made for the Eagle that came to a total of 25,535. Many of the AMC Eagles were put together in Ontario, Canada at this time.

Top engineers at Jeep designed the Eagle's unique look by fusing the Concord body with a four-wheel-drive driveline. This approach was very similar to the Jeep itself. A car like this was an obvious choice for the small American car maker, AMC. Revenue of AMC's extremely lucrative Jeep line, which wasn't well-known for excellent gas mileage, dropped sharply, forcing AMC to innovate. Due to this, the Eagle provided a cheaper method of bridging the difference among AMC's reliable, but definitely aging, passenger auto line and its well-liked, but mostly off-road-centric, Jeep series, since the Eagle employed the existing Concord (and later, Spirit) chassis.

A very first in mass produced passenger cars, the first AMCs Eagles came with a truely full-time automatic all wheel drive system that is used full time. The Eagle's single speed central differential had a thick fluid that helped provide a smooth power transfer to the axles providing better overall traction to the road. Comparable vehicles, for example the Subaru Loyale (1983 and also a year afterwards in the U.S.) and very much later on the 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 Wagon -- only had a part-time four-wheel drive system that were not engaged on dry road. The Eagle all wheel drive was way more advanced than Subaru's simple part-time 4 wheel drive system.Another inventive feature was AMC Eagle's independent front suspension which was made doable by the front differential being fitted to the engine block using universal joints. Furthermore, half shafts were connected to the front drive wheels.

Especially as the car manufacturer was having difficulties financially, "AMC's reputation for developing cars on the bottom dollar is merely exceeded by its heritage of birthing the SUV", including the Eagle being the precursor to one of probably the most well-known automobile types in the modern marketplace. Certainly, the Eagle's basic notion - a station wagon having all wheel drive, lots of power options, higher ground clearance, automatic transmissions, in addition to off-road ruggedness. As a matter of fact, it influenced automobiles like the Subaru Outback and Forester lines, the Volvo XC range, the Audi Allroad, and many other vehicles. Likewise, automobile correspondent Marty Padgett referred to AMC's automobile-based 1980 Eagle, mixing all-weather capacity with greater gas mileage, and as "actually the first crossover" that ended up being followed by whole generations of additional spin off vehicles.
