Jeep is a Stellantis product. Literally the worst quality auto manufacturer in North America. They are circling the drain and jacking up the prices on their vehicles and making Pikachu faces when they don't sell. Their only customers are people who don't know how to research their purchases, and putting advertisement hell into their cars is another example of that. I suspect they will not be in business a decade from now.

    I work in the auto industry. Can confirm, Stellantis is in bad shape. I wouldn't buy anything from them.

    What's confusing is that some great auto brands from Europe are under Stellantis (Peugeot and Citroen at least)

    And they're actually not doing a shitty job in designing or selling their vehicles. It's mainly the Chrysler brands or basically the US brands under Stellantis. I seriously hope the shit happening in Chrysler doesn't come trickling down to the other brands

    Turns out regulations are good for businesses.

    Regulations are definitely excellent for both businesses and consumers in the long term. But businesses are often too stupid to see past ANYTHING "quarterly".

    That depends on the business culture and how good their advisors are. And also the size if the business matter.

    But yeah generally angelosaxton companies who have a mangement structure that’s way more in depth than it needs to be fuck these things over

    Out of the American big three, I have the most confidence in Ford. I've worked with engineers at all three, and the ones at Ford are the ones that I felt were most compitent.

    That being said, my next car will probably be a Toyota or a Subaru. Both way better than the American OEMs.
