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 However, AMC was unable to shake the perception that its products were hopelessly outdated and substandard, and furthermore the Spirit AMX was introduced the same year (1979) as the new Fox Platform Ford Mustang, so sales suffered and the car was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:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“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)
“So this
Is man; so—what better conclusion is there—
The day will not follow night, and the heart
Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
Than a wolf’s,”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
