I don’t know about AMC - but I’m sure that John Wayne took a serious, and culturally sensitive approach to ensuring that Native Americans were accurately represented in his movies, and fairly compensated for their involvement (if any) and this, was certainly not a common attitude in the 1970s...

If anyone is considering naming a shitty Jeep SUV after me, please don’t. I would not consider it to be a badge of honor, or respect.
For example, introducing the new Dodge “Anthony”:

“I highly doubt that the original Cherokee name was chosen without consulting with the Cherokee people” - That’s hilarious. I would bet they never even considered consulting the Cherokee people.

Call the Cherokee the Liberty (a la 2002), make the Grand Cherokee the Commando (2-row)/Commander (3-row), and have the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer above that.

the Gods wasted a perfectly good asshole when they put teeth in your mouth.

“If someone just says Cherokee, or Cherokee tribe, obviously you’d think of Cherokee people like the native americans.”

Existing names from Jeep’s own history:

Reach out to them and ask. Whether they are okay with that or not isn’t really relevant to how the Cherokee feel about this though.

I’m not sure the Jeep Mussolini will sell as well as you think.

I’m sure that when most people hear “Jeep Cherokee” they don’t think of the tribe, and that’s a problem in itself. They’ve used the name so long now that it’s almost been redefined. That sucks to think about. Should’ve changed it awhile ago and it’s not too late to do it now.

Always entertaining to watch a company desperately kick an issue down the road while they’re accountants and marketers try to figure out whether they’ll make more money, or less, by addressing it meaningfully.

There are 11 trim levels of the current Grand Cherokee and 9 of the current Cherokee.

Hopefully Jeep didn’t returned with the “Eliminator” trim

On the interwebs, every discussion about cars will, sooner or later, devolve into a cockfight.

I’d rather see it uncleaned so I can tell if it’s leaking anything or not.

Good point on the choices in spelling. It has me hunting for the vape pen smell myself. A dearth of information too.  But at least it doesn’t have a plethora of keywords spewed at the end of the ad. I appreciate that kind of stuff.

This one’s a toughie. It’s a German luxury car with a substantial number on the odometer, and any dealership called “Klean CarZ” puts me on yellow alert for intentionally misspelling words and using unnecessary capitalization. The price is right for the market though...

This Porsche reminds me of how dog food smells much different than it actually tastes.

You could pull up behind the McD’s and run it on fry squeezins

Ooooh fancy. I’ll run mine on duck fat.
