Agreed.
So, what do you know about Diamer's (Germany) influence/control on the
Jeep lineage?

Re: 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Re: 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Not much. My son (another Jeep owner) lives near the Daimler factory
in Stuttgart. Maybe he can find out something.

Re: 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Considering how DC have stomped their landings (and their competition)
on a lot of their other product lines (Viper, SRT-4, 300C, the new
Hemi, the Dodge Ram truck series, and (while I don't like it, millions
of other people seem to disagree) the PT Cruiser, to name a few
successes), it's disappointing how they seem to have broken faith with
tradition regarding the Jeep brand. Their designers seem to be totally
lost. The "WK" 2005 GC looks like it was designed in the People's
Republic of China. I know every vehicle they build can't be a Rubicon,
so I suppose we should thank Heaven that the TJ is still around. Maybe
the production version of the Rescue concept vehicle will help,
although it does look kind of like a knee-jerk to the (urk!) Hummer.
