The AMC Eagle (remember AMC?) also used a viscous coupler, if I recall
correctly.  It was probably the first four-wheel-drive passenger car (as
opposed to truck) to be sold in the U.S.  It didn't sell well, probably
partly because of the butt-ugly styling.  They had no budget so they reused
the Hornet body design, leading to a car that looked like a Hornet on tiptoe.
 Mostly, though, I think it was just ahead of its time.  Look at all the
people who buy Subarus!
