Re: GM in talks to buy Chrysler (Jeep)
It's not like we need race tuned suspension here. What most of us here look for is off-road capabilities.
When the Blazer first came out it was a very capable machine, but now? IFS with a heavy 4.3L bolted to a very weak trans...
In the off-road market the GM group just doesn't compete, shoot it has taken them over 10 years to even try to enter any of the off-road races. (Hummer H3 in the Dakar)
Now in sports car class the GM group has always had the Vette and the Camaro, the Saturn and the Caddie are late comers riding the shirt tails of "retro muscle car" wave.
We have all gone through buy outs already (DC). If it happens things might look up for our beloved Jeeps, if not then our consumer dollars will tell the higher ups that they "F" up the jeep and they will try again to get it right.
Look at the Rubicon...DC did a good job producing that Jeep.
