Title: Chrysler to sell Jeep?
Post by: ShadyPines on January 14, 2009, 10:16:48 PM
There are reports circulating that Chrysler is thinking of selling Jeep to Nissan-Renault, both parties are of course denying this.  Anyone else heard this?  I saw it on the BNN channel and numerous goggle articles.  Would this be a good thing? Or are Jeeps as we know them today in danger of a major overhaul and re-design?  Wait and see.

Funny, people said the same when Chrysler took jeep over from American Motors around 1985 or there abouts. And thats when the REAL spontaneous jeep wave was actually lost forever.

By the way, a little read up on Wiki shows that American Motors and Renault were already partnered up from 1970-1987.

And then I say all hell broke loose and Chrysler added the rest of the alphabetically named jeeps and continued adding on  more cosmetic bling and plastic over the years till you finally come up with the one jeep they have strived for.......a Hummer look alike.   ;D ;)

Found In A Toilet.  If I recall, Fiat had a decent diesel, any chance that this could migrate to Jeep?

Nope.  Not a chance, unless they want to put a different diesel into it.  Check out the VW Jetta issues in 2007:

So unless they redesign it to fit into our standards (designed to crush those dirty, smelly, and oh-so-untreehuggable diesels), we won't see it.

In the rest of the world....the Nissan Patrol is seen by most as the most durable general purpose 4WD you can buy today.
