Not to give Jeep too much credit, but it’s likely the most stable vehicle to come out of Chrysler. Probably the most Sure to keep vehicle through all this. Just interested to see what they’ll do after Broncos start rolling out. Design wise.

Jeep hasn’t been American in a long time. The Germans conquered Jeep decades ago.

Actually, Ford built more MJ Jeeps than Willys. Manufacturing capacity...
Ford built GI Jeeps or GPWs, MJs are Comanches, one of the most overlooked but awesome Jeep models.

Time to spin off the Jeep brand just like FCA did with Ram...or better yet - let Jeep go as a complete stand-alone and develop their own vehicles without Pierre, Pietro, or Ping Lu's influence...
Ram was not spun off, it was made into its own division. UUUGE difference!

Jeep needs to remain an American owned brand. At least the wrangler series. ?
Jeep hasn’t been American owned for years. Before fiat bought Chrysler including jeep and dodge and ram they were owned at least partly by Mercedes Benz. It was dcx or Daimler Chrysler corporation

yes.

Although both automakers billed this as a 50/50 merger, PSA is technically taking over FCA in the final deal. PSA's current CEO Carlos Tavares will become CEO of the combined

I think back in the late 80's early 90's the wrangler used a Peugeot transmission.

Peugeot is part owned by the French government

And 12.2% of Peugeot (PSA) is owned by Dongfeng a Chinese auto maker.

Dongfeng is part owned by the the Chinese government.

FCA and PSA own 14 brands of cars.

This is getting complex, a French Italian Chinese auto maker.

Still a Dodge in some way, shape or form. Adding Chinese or French to that equation makes it no more appealing to me.
