I’d treat this with a bit of skepticism, especially given Jeep’s recent history in terms of reliability (or utter lack thereof).
All of stellantis cars are garbage.
I’d risk that is true for the US models.
The FIAT umbrella and the PSA line-up in Europe makes for a good chunk of the market with vehicles for all tastes.
Shame the American Fiats are shit. I’d love to know the calculus behind dumping all the crap in the States.
Why do you say that? What is so bad with FIAT there?
Their quality control is almost as bad as Tesla’s.
Really? That bad?
FIAT in the 90’s and early 00’s went through a really bad phase, due to Ferrari sinking millions into F1, to the point FIAT Brazil was more active than FIAT Europe developing new models.
FIAT are reliable. A few engines were less than good but FIAT has always been on the forefront of developing new technology into engines and cars. My first car, a cheap model, had direct fuel injection when most other manufacturers were still using carburettors (at best, eletrically controlled).
It’s even a joke between owners that FIAT cars don’t like mechanics but when they start doing, you’re better off changing cars.
Ah. Then FIAT must taking the European ones that don’t pass final checks and sending them Stateside. Idk.
I tried to discover what was the line-up you have over there and it seems we get more from over there (essentially through the SUV line, from JEEP) than you receive from here.
What vehicles do you get under that badge?
Came to say this. I wouldn’t be caught dead being an early adopter for them.
And steering headlong into late-stage capitalism uber customization.
A Jeep is still a bad vehicle, no matter how much they customize them for extra cash.
Capitalism was a fucking mistake
Recent history? They’ve been junk for a long time. I’ll give the Wrangler a pass but the rest of their lineup had been pretty terrible.
By recent, I mean like the past several decades.
