LX sales

User 132.24.126.26 noted that "Very few LX models seem to have been built, mostly for fleet use." Can that be substantiated with some sales figures? Many if not most of the Premiers I've seen in person have been '88 or '89 LXs, all equipped with the PRV V6. My parents' Premier was a V6-equipped LX. Perhaps what was meant was that four-cylinder Premiers were rare? I can readily believe that, as I've never seen one. --93JC 18:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

It's been decided that Premier did not replace the Matador

Apolloboy, whos is "its"? You? You just remarked that EPA called the Premier a large car. The Matador was a roomy inside as most Big 3 full size cars. Now the large AMC car in 1998 is a what to a large AMC car in 1978? Can you say "successor"??? The matador was one of the most obscure 70s cars, the Premier even more obscure, and it's quite a story to trace their heritage to a WHAT? NOOOOOOO!--Wiarthurhu 00:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

When I said "it's", I mean me, SteveBaker, and a few other members of WikiProject Automobiles. The Premier was simply developed as a new car for AMC's Renault-based lineup, and was not meant to replace anything, as I've said before. If you look on the two links on the page, you'll notice that they don't mention the Matador or the Premier replacing anything. The Matador may have been quite roomy, but back then it was considered an intermediate. Besides, if you're going to trace the Premier back to anything, it'd be the Renault 25, which the Premier was derived from. --ApolloBoy 01:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
