His death was announced by his daughter Susan Meyers. In 1970, as a senior manufacturing executive, Mr. Meyers was tasked with evaluating a possible acquisition of Kaiser Jeep. But the board proceeded anyway — and put Mr. Meyers in charge. To appeal to more consumers, he upgraded existing Jeeps with better engines, suspensions and interiors, and directed the development of a new wagon, the Jeep Cherokee. Sales soon surged, steadying AMC’s shaky finances and driving consumer interest in roomy off-road vehicles.

SPORTY STANCE The 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T is a sport-tuned plug-in hybrid, with up to 288 hp and 383 lb-ft of gas-electric output, packaged with performance upgrades such as Brembo brakes, Koni dampers and the PowerShot boost feature, helping the compact crossover from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6-seconds. Photo: DodgeOUR GUEST has come a long way to be with us. Born near sunny Napoli, in the Kingdom of Stellantis , it travels under the name of the Dodge Hornet R/T but was born an Alfa Romeo Tonale, which rhymes with giornale. Dodge needed a compact crossover in its North American showrooms; and the historically dubious “Hornet” nameplate was available. The last Hornet model in series-production (1970-1977) was built by American Motors Corporation.
