The front (particularly the hood/headlights) of a first-gen Compass looks a good deal like an AMC Pacer. The D-pillar looks like the C-pillar of a Gremlin.

AMC IS ALIVE

Does this include the grenading transmissions and such that plagued old Jeeps when they were owned by AMC?

I’m not sure modern FCA Jeep is *that much* of a patch reliability-wise in general, and Chrysler has something of a legend in that area for undersized FWD drivetrains made of potato, so “yes”?

But you can’t shove a big V8 into a compass and make it do wheelies

I may have to find time to photoshop the rear doors off the jeep tonight

It’s tough being an old AMC car designer, but that’s exactly what happened here.

You could schedule transmission rebuilds based on mileage in the old S Body vans. Had that happen on two NS vans my grandmother owned at one time.

Although it was allegedly possible to get an original S Body with the 2.5 Turbo version of the K engine with a manual transmission... Although I’m more partial to the Toyota Previa S/C...

Why not?

I mean, nobody has, but I firmly believe in the right -nay, obligation- of our human species to eventually hellcat all the things, Compass included.

You can get close to that VIA swapping in a LS4.

Yes. An old AMC car designer happened all over that car.

The Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger are built on a platform based off of the AMC designed Eagle Premier platform.

...mashed up with some Benz E-class stuff when redeveloped, IIRC. Which arguably makes it more AMC-ish (random mash-ups of Euro/US parts), not less.
