The Avenger and its corporate cousins sharing the same platform won't come stateside. The tiny Avenger would have failed here, but the Fiat 600 would have been a good compliment to the 500e. Remember the EU is supposed to go 100% battery electric. Despite the conservative wave in various European elections, the EU regime in Brussels can overrule the national autonomy. Here in North America we also face zero emissions mandates for half the US population. (Who knows what Canada has to deal with.) Jeep has to play the hand they're dealt, so the Recon and Wagoneer S are battery electric and the Renegade retreats to Latin America like the Soup Nazi did. "No Jeep for you!"
Jeep sales are dead. Prices were increased 50% over the last year. The same is true over most of the legacy Chrysler corporation brands. Money is tight and it's hard to finance a vehicle.
Getting back to the EV dilemma. Wake up and smell the Vodka comrade. The Soviet system produced a lot of failure. Utilities were unreliable with blackouts being common. Soviet produced goods were shoddy and poorly engineered. most of this was caused by the party favorites who were promoted to positions of influence. The was no best and brightest rising to the top. Today woke is the party line. Too much of corporate America is run by people who majored in feminist dance theory in college. As far as politics, look at the hassle CARB is giving Fiat-Chrysler. (Stellantis today, this started before the merger.) Anyway it is real banana republic stuff, that would have been a real scandal before the regime change. We are living in a Soviet style socialist dystopia. Nothing works reliably anymore, our transportation infrastructure, the electrical grid, plus we still have empty store shelves. The hollow problematic EV charging grid and the EV mandates are the symbols for all of this.
