So if you buy a Jeep next year you’re dealing with the communist Chinese govt? Oh well. The Belgians bought Budweiser a while ago. Taste the same to me. ?

Guess I'm a snob...I'll take a Belgian lambic over a Bud any day...

Maybe it will help FCA reliability and quality

Wait, didn't Fiat already do that??

I think Chrysler's done for. Only Jeep and Ram will survive.

Jeep needs to remain an American owned brand. At least the wrangler series. ?

Actually, Ford built more MJ Jeeps than Willys. Manufacturing capacity...

Jeep hasn’t been American since the 90’s. The “merger of equals” ended that run.

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.

Thank you for this information. I will never want to purchase a vehicle that even partially supports a tyrannical regime.
