Conclusion
The Spirit AMX exemplifies both AMC's virtues and its shortcomings. It was an innovative concept and was well executed from an engineering standpoint, which illustrates the creative thinking and skilled engineering that characterized AMC's late efforts. The car was markedly improved and performed very well. However, AMC was unable to shake the perception that its products were hopelessly outdated and substandard, and furthermore the Spirit AMX was introduced the same year (1979) as the new Fox Platform Ford Mustang, so sales suffered and the car was cancelled after a brief (2 year) run.
In 2008, a contestant during the Hollywood Phase of American Idol, Season 7 Revealed that he runs drag races during his spare time. He was seen racing an AMC Spirit AMX.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:
“The conclusion has never changed: the worst sort of people come here for the worst sort of reasons and put upon those of us who have conveniently forgotten where we came from and how we got here.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichés that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him.... The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart’s blood.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
