Although AMC may no longer be able to exploit a niche in the auto market that the Big Three are unable or unwilling to fill, Meyers argues that AMC can still produce a distinctive auto with its small-car expertise. Meyers, a 6 ft. 2 in. engineer noted for his insistence on developing new products, asserts: "We've got to give the people something...
