Surprising.  I would think they would kill the SUV line in Dodge/Chrsler, well the Durango/Aspen leaving Nitro and rely on Jeep to be their SUV line.

I could be wrong but doesn't the Wrangler do well?  I say keep it, trim out the Compass or  Liberty since they have the Nitro.  Get a good diesel in them and watch the money roll in.

Jeep has been a bastard child of car companies since WWII.  No one has been able to make a sustained profit off of them and the brand ends up getting traded like a dot com stock on the stock market.....too bad.

No, Daimler ran Chrysler into the ground. These guys are trying to salvage it.

this would really dissapoint me.  my liberty is by far the best chrysler vehicle i have ever come across.  i meanthis would really piss me off.  i dont think it will happen though.  most of the jeep vehicles are cross platform so it would really **** them up to just cut them out.

now if the line workers stopped ****in up vehicles and chrysler would use better materials on the interior this whole problem could of been avoiding

If this somewhat far fetched rumor of Jeep being sold to M&M turns out to be true, perhaps we'll see Jeep-branded diesel pickups in the U.S. before the decade is done.


I wouldn't get too worked up about it yet... I think its more M&M trying to drum up interest in the diesel pickup they are introducing in the US next year

Most of the "line worker problems" are engineering problems.  IE, parts do not fit right, or a job is overloaded.  But management knows this and yet ships the car anyways.  Most of the quality issues fall on managements shoulders.

I find it  funny that they would wanna  get rid of Jeep since its what helped bail their butts out  back in the 80's  from  going belly up. I do like the Jeep lines, I'll be getting a jeep in the furture . My Great grandpa  worked  there  when it was Willys overland my grandpa  for  Kaiser,  AMC  my dad  AMC , CHrysler and Daimler . so maybe  im a little baised on the jeep line LMAO

The 90's was a great decade for Chrysler. With the redesign of the Ram; the intro of the Concorde/Intrepid cab-forward design, the Neon, and the re-design of the Dakota in '97. Things were great back then. I loved all of those (not that I dont like the LX) designs. But eversince the "Merger" which turned into a buy-out with Daimler; everything's gone down hill.

I want those good 'ol days back!

Dude, are you kidding me? Jeep was the only thing that kept AMC on life support after they were acquired. And thru Jeep's run with Chryco theyve always been hot sellers.

The commander and compass need to get the axe thats for sure. The patriot would do better as a dodge also, I think. Now that the whole SUV craze has more or less crashed its going to go back to 4x4s for the enthusiast and Jeep has always been THE major player. Hummers and toyota FJs are the only real competitors they have since we for some reason wont allow land rover defenders here...
