Also, there is no such thing as a global vehicle / global automaker insofar the Compass is the only global vehicle and manufacturing is done on two different continents. The success of that vehicle in each region is self-contained - the Compass in the US does ok, but not great, compared to its...
Ford sold 35,000 MachE's (manufactured in Mexico) in Europe...for all 2024 - Electric Vehicle registrations in Europe: 15 countries, majority of BEV market.
They sold 55K MachE's in the US in 2024.
There is no existing success story for a Big 3 OEM shipping to the EU and having commercial...
Model by Model -
Ram HD - was never really a strong seller compared to Ford HD and GM HD trucks. The only of the Big 3 to build their HD truck in Mexico. Bring to the HD trucks home to Belvidere!!!!
Next generation Compass - profit negligible, Brampton will essentially be put on ice. No...
The 2026 Grand Cherokee / Wrangler / Gladiator 4xE upgrade with the new transmission is interesting (2026 Jeep® Wrangler and Gladiator 4xe Models Will Get This...), but they'll charge a mint for it. $60K+ minimum
Same with the Ramcharger. It will be expensive.
So tell me again how...
A BEV and a 1.6L MHEV. I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes....
Just cancel this already and write it off.
You're either a tech bro that has bought into a Tesla or a Boomer with more money than sense if you buy an EV. Tesla has a lock on the coastal tech bro market and GM and Kia are picking up...
Well, that's why they won't be cross shopped. They think that anyone that eliminates that 1.6L MHEV from buying consideration should just move up to a ICE GME-T4 EVO in the 2026 Grand Cherokee.
They're wrong - the vast majority existing CDJR buyers want neither of these powertrains. Like I said...
I am really hoping they can at least continue using the Pentastar in the 2026 Grand Cherokee on certain trims, Limited and up. Going to a GME-T4 is a colossal mistake.
There are only ~1000 (new) V8 Ram 1500s nationwide remaining. Turns out, there isn't Ram 1500 V8 surplus. People bought them while they could, and it's why they're bringing back V8 production...
They do care. It's what actually gave this company a brief, bright future from 2010-2019. Otherwise - good luck competing against Toyota with your four bangers vs theirs, STLA's marginal build quality, and crap dealership experience.
What's more likely and less expensive to achieve - going out...
Back to the topic at hand - the 2026 Cherokee 1.6L MHEV will be absolutely bodied by a 2026 Rav4 with a 2.5L MHEV.
I keep telling people this - this company does not have the chops to compete in the A-D segment in the US. Just stop selling A-D segment vehicles in the US.
Precisely. I have money. Absolutely zero vehicles interest me except for the 2026 Honda Passport. I have never bought a non-Big 3 vehicle in my life, but they've left me no choice. The Big 3 are run by intellectual midwits and political back-biters instead of people that can tell the government...
V6 or V8 is completely gone in A-D segments unless it's $70K+ vehicles from European OEMs for performance models. V6 is holding out in E-segment Unbody vehicles in the Passport and Explorer.
Take a look at the existing 2025 Grand Cherokee or 2026 Honda Passport. Honda passport has a 3.5L V6 and will continue to have it, since it just launched.
Jeep on the other hand is removing the Pentastar from the Grand Cherokee in 2026. Jeep is going in the wrong direction for powertrain and...
