that NY Times article on AMCs and Teague...

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Just FYI, it's still on the front page of the NY Times online, in
the AUTOMOBILE section. One of the better 'lightweight' articles
on AMC, it's getting a lot of exposure.

I think it did a good job of summarizing AMC, left them in a
positive light (esp. these days when car makers are all copying
each others dull, repetitive designs), made them an underdog
(always popular in the U.S.), and overall makes AMC sound pretty
innovative and bold. Not bad for a few hundred words.

And other than the one picture of "WAYNE'S WORLD", no AMC jokes
and no repeating all the old "ugly" remarks.

The author, John Matras, should be thanked for this contribution.
I couldn't find any way to contact him.
