Neither of those things are news. 

The W engines were unreliable even for VW and emissions and mileage standards went up. The W12 only had a little over 400hp as well. 

It’s also much more expensive than those are. Like $10k more. But yeah other than that, you sound very smart. 

It’s about using IP that FCA has the rights too.

“They fact that they look similar is about as relevant as the fact that a PB&J and a panini look similar if you squint at them from 50 yards away.”

This competes with the Honda Pilot which weighs the same. 

So Mahindra licenses it for use outside the US. If that license held in the US, there’d be no issue, and yet here we are. 

Using the brand image makes Jeep tons of money, and cross shopping the Wrangler isn’t the standard. And I think you mean a giant Anglo-Dutch corporation taking advantage of a giant Indian corporation.

Lay people will think it’s a Jeep though. It makes money off of another’s intellectual property. Jeep doesn’t make a CJ, but they trade heavily on the image, as is their right. 

“and more a work tool. So much so that its got features you want as a tool, like doors that dont get dinged or scratched.”

“I don’t understand why looks should matter with a truck.”

There’s so many unknown assumptions here it’s hard to know where to start. 

So Brexit is occuring. Which means the UK needs to negotiate trade deals with other countries, in this case the US. In said negotiations, the US brought up access to the UK healthcare market. I’m sure the US would love more access to the UK’s market.

Haha, for sure.

Presumably the trucks would be done on new lines created to avoid buying more of those systems. It’s not like they’ll stop making the existing models to make the truck. 

So far the information seems to indicate the US was pushing for more access to the UK’s health markets in a trade deal during preliminary talks.

“Not medical debt, yet. Although that is coming, our psychopath with a bad haircut is gonna buy it from your psychopath with a bad haircut and privatize it to make it for profit when Brexit goes through.”

More importantly, last time, Tesla made a minivan/crossover; this time they made a truck. It’s not like their second most recent product, announced in March of this year, came from a dystopian sci-fi movie:

The CLS still exists.

“Nah it’s not the crushing student and medical debt,”
