If your going to put information out there, just be accurate. I’m no Tesla fan boy, but to be fair, the Cybertruck didn’t have off-road mode initially.

They need to sell the rights to the Jeep brand name to a company who is willing to do a total rebuild and make it as tough and reliable as the original Willeys Jeep. I don’t get why most automobile manufacturers are unable to understand that reliability should be the highest priority. Especially for something like a Jeep.

[@vinmatrix76]

Fun fact. AM General still exist, and they are the original manufacturer of the military jeeps after amc bought jeep from Willy’s. Yes am general the manufacturer of the hummer/H1 is the original manufacturer of the jeep, after Willy’s. The humvee was supposed to be the replacement for the jeep for civilians, however Chrysler bought the civilian side of jeep when amc went belly up, but the am general side soldiered on and still exists today. So in theory am general could start a civilian side company that could produce the jeep and the humvee anytime they want.

Very recently, I checked online and Stellantis Dealers nationwide were carrying RAM 1500's from 2022, 2023, 2024 as well as brand new 2025's. Horrible inventory management by both their dealers and Stellantis. Wonder what the "factory warranty" looks like on a "brand new/never titled" RAM 1500?

I live in Arizona and they could not keep enough on the lot. Well of course its Arizona, but they had a lot of Gladiators that were discounted with a rebate so I went and bought one. I think mine was one of the last that was built in Toledo before they fired all of the workers. The Italian built Cherokee, compass, and Renegades had a lot of problems. Matter of fact thats why I traded up to the Gladiator to get out of the wallet vampire that is the Renegade.

The bottom line is all car manufacturers and dealers are asking more money for lower quality vehicles that can't be easily/affordably repaired. Combine that with a rapidly increasing cost of living, people are choosing, and rightly so, to put that money into higher priority expenses: Houses are up. Food is up. Utilities are up.

About the Corvette my kid bought one of the last C7s made in 2019. Less than a month before C7s production ended. It was built to their specific order and they got museum delivery in Bowling Green. They wanted a true American Roadster. Not a knockoff of a European supercar. They also know that of any GM production run, it is not until about year 4 that the quality goes way up as problems of a new model get worked out of a design. They found this with their 2004 Cavalier that was still running great when they traded it in 2015 with 195,000 miles on it. They still see it on the road where they live now and then. They also avoided the C8 as they know that GM products in their first year of production have a lot of issues. But getting back to their C7, they still get offers for more than they paid for it. Often from the dealer they bought it through.

I contacted one of my Singapore journalist colleagues who has "informants" at BYD and he/she said that BYD is going to build a BMW-X3-size near-luxury all-EV SUV that has an actual 400 miles or 600 km driving range which will be sold for only $24,999 USD which will debut in 2026 if they get the factory in 2025. That SUV design which I have seen before ALREADY HAS all the major North American safety standards and equipment designed-in and on-board AND it actually sells for MUCH LESS in China than it will be sold for here! My contact says the first BYD all-EV SUVs will come out 18 months after they get the factory bought-out, which i absolutely HAVE NO DOUBT they can do as I have SEEN that in China, entire factories are started from scratch in as little as SIX MONTHS! They realized the USA will take longer so it was changed to be 18 months until first production! AND my contact says their own TRUCK designs will be coming to North America a few months after being made in the SAME factory! North American factories CANNOT COMPETE since BYD EV factories are COMPLETELY AUTOMATED having almost NO employees and are HIGHLY FLEXIBLE making multiple platforms on the same highly-automated factory lines! No US automaker can make and sell a 400+ mile range EV SUV for only $24,999 USD and a $29,999 full-size hybrid truck ....AND... since BYD will be making them here in the USA, no import duties need be paid!
