RE: The Fate of JEEP

If the Germans do keep Jeep(it's not all caps, check out the logo sometime if you're that worried about their future) then I'm going to say that the core consumer wouldn't return for purchases and it wouldn't be worth their time to keep this one division.

The Jeep and Dodge brands have been trying hard for the last few years to land governmental(military) transportation contracts, but those negotiations weren't successful because our fair Chrysler wasn't an American corporation. Now that they're majority domestic again, these talks might be more apt to produce sales.

Jeep customers(real Jeep customers, now-- not the Compass/Liberty set) are very domesticentric buyers. They don't cross-shop their Jeeps with Japanese SUVs. They pay retail pricing, and don't shop based on reliability or fuel-mileage numbers. They come to buy a new Jeep, and that's it. No brand has stayed so true to it's roots.

CEREBUS gets JEEP. I don't know if they keep it. I would guess "YES!"
