i meant US military it's okay if we help make chinky Hummers, aren't we the world's biggest arms dealer? i forgot Renault was partially owned by the French government, and that was the problem.
i forgot about Beijing Jeep, too, but that's more a Chrysler/China hookup. they still make an XJ Cherokee over there too.American Motors ended its history as an independent automaker in 1982 when controlling interest in the company was purchased by France's Renault. US Government regulations forbade ownership of defense contractors by foreign governments, and Renault was partially owned by the French government. Therefore, in 1983, AM General was sold by AMC to the LTV Corporation and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the LTV Aerospace and Defense Company.
