Doubtful, because it wouldn't sell. If the trad Jeep market will buy
the brick on wheels and won't buy anything else, they will keep making
the brick on wheels. The old style Jeeps are made by several companies
in export markets and they probably will be imported here when the
cost of federalizing them intersects the higher production costs in
some of these markets, where the local auto industry is actually not
that cost competitive despite low wages due to low productivity or the
local governments cause too much trouble.
It's worth noting that several "throwback" products like the
Hindustan Ambassador are sold in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, and
if they thought Americans would buy 'em in numbers enough to
federalize them they would here too. The Indian built new 1955 Royal
Enfield bikes are over here now, although the price is a lot higher
than over there.
Just like the Harleys, it's now possible to build a Jeep from all
aftermarket parts, and if used Jeeps were priced like Harleys, a lot
more people would. Harley-Davidson would probably love to make only
the V-Rod liquid cooled bike, but they're not selling. The old one is.
So it stays in production. The DIY assembled and Big Dog aftermarket
bikes are a definite factor keeping H-D on its old style course.
If people wouldn't buy shitty products, they would quit making them.
