I was a fan but, in truth, they were interesting but never really innovative.
They tried to occupy certain niches but never really brought anything trend-setting and always seemed to be a half-step behind and a few HP short of what was hot on the market. I loved the AMX but it just couldn't get the sales momentum it needed to be fully developed.

I agree, they just had to much baggage of a company with 'thrifty' as its motto but the AMX was well liked at the time as a stand out from the AMC line-up but as you point out it just couldn't compete 100%. I think in all however it really helped boost the image of AMC at least for their short lived future. It was a respectable try.
