They also have a clean, attractive yet rugged appearance that still seems fresh 40+ years after.

OK, I'll certainly give you clean, attractive and rugged, however I don't think you can really apply sophisticated to a vehicle whose design is kind of like one of those fold over things like they used to have on the back of MAD magazine done to a pickup and then the roof erased.
I mean you have to admit it's almost like a couple AMC designers filled in for a week. You know the guys who created things like.. hey, if we take the Javalin and just chop 2 feet out of the middle of it, it's sort of kind of like a Camaro...or a Mustang... yes exactly like that, we could call it the exparemental, err, wait American Motors eXparemental... or AMX... ooo I like that... Call Bob on the line and have him cut one up. A year or so later, Hey we need a sub compact hatchback.... Hey call Bob have him grab a Hornet body, I have an idea....
