There are rumors also that Chrysler may revive the AMC division as a low cost hybrid and alt fuel division.

here also is a possible Gremlin hybrid also.... all wheel drive too hense the "X" for all wheel drive like the taurus x

The Pacer and Gremlin would be cool! Where did you get those drawings? I want to see an AMC Spirit!!!

Hey, GM should sell Chrysler kappa... surely they could modify it to allow several 2+2 configurations!

Is it already April's Fool day?

There was another post in another forum who showed these designs a while ago, if I remember correctly, it was from Popular Hot Rodding magazine

I say yes. It could be Chrysler's Scion brand.

I always wanted an old Pacer. I think they're funny.

It was from Hot Rod magazine. The AMC fans are still writing angry letters about being duped.

Those pics are really pretty neat looking!!!

It would be something if CC were to revive a Chrysler Pacer or Gremlin...I'd even be temped to cross over to the dark side...

EldoFan · 09-17-2008, 05:20 PM

It's too bad that's a joke.......because it's a pretty good looking one...(the gremlin/javelin especially!)

baby-vortec2900 · 09-17-2008, 05:59 PM

Thank goodness its a joke! We are still trying to forget the Pacers, and move on( Hardly a high point for Chrysler )

Okay......the disco-era Pacers & Gremlins sucked hard.....but picture the concepts with modern interiors, great powertrains (engine help from Nissan? DSG tranny from VW?) and great styling (carry the concept styling over to production as much as possible ala Camaro) and you have two cars that could possibly save Chrysler's butt.

As for the Javelin/AMX......keep the thing a two seater, stuff it full of big-block Hemi goodness (SRT level & above) and treat that thing to the utmost TLC like Chevy does to the Corvette. What will you have then?? A next gen Corvette fighter for Chrysler, which could also conveniently replace the Viper.
