I tried this when Al Davis was still alive...I thought the fans should buy the Raiders like the City of Green Bay that owns the Packers...I was willing to throw in some serious coin...

The problem being "serious coin" to the vast majority of us is chump change to the guys making these kinds of deals.

India bought Land Rover. So, not surprising China is buying Jeep.
They are getting a better deal. ;-)
The Chinese can build quality stuff if they want. The problem is many do not want to pay for it, hence we see what we see.

Jeep Going Chinese???
Just saw in the current issue of Four Wheel and Off Road magazine where the CEO of FCA said that FCA was in good shape and implied that the Jeep brand would not be sold to the Great Wall automotive group. This strongly suggests that discussions to do just that have been underway but were not currently initiated. This also suggests that discussions could resume at any time and that Jeep may, indeed, go the way of the IBM PC where Chinese Lenovo bought the brand. I'm planning to research this a bit more and to keep my eye on this situation. I may have bought my last Jeep (or could buy one before the change). Not happy about the current foreign ownership but would be very unhappy with Chinese ownership. Any thoughts from the Wayalife community?

Fuck it I’ll buy Jeep. I’ll start a funding page here and we can all pitch in.

My Honda Fit was Chinese built, kinda pissed me off. Jeeps are a Toledo thing, pure and simple.

Depending on year, it was built in Mexico or Japan. Ownership doesn't necessarily equate to production location. Nearly all manufactures have plants all over the world. Parts come from all over the world.

Yep. My fit had a Chinese VIN (5) as well as a “ made in China “ decal on the B pillar.

Well, I certainly hope that Jeep isn’t included in this. That would kill it for me personally. Looks like I may be buying German if this is the case.

Older jeeps!! Can’t get enough of them [emoji4]. As pissed off as I was, the fit was well built.

Look at it
Like real estate. You might want to sell if it’s reached its highest value. However I hope not.

In a MUCH smaller scale, I finally let my automotive repair business go to someone else when I figured it had maxed out in value. Was a awesome decision.

Very true lol. I just hope the Jeep truck is made in the US and they don’t go too crazy with pricing!
