I still don’t know why it’s still presented as an either/or sort of thing.

You only have to connect it to the app when first setting it up, and then once a month to validate the subscription. You don’t connect to the app every time you ride.

My family had a five-speed Aerostar when I was a kid. I learned to drive and took my driver’s test in it. It was a lower-trim version than the one in the article; I’m sure my parents’ choice of the manual was a product of thrift rather than enthusiasm. It was a box on wheels with a manual. I imagine the MT made it…

I can only hope.

So what’s next Ford or GM is going to charge you a monthly fee for the use of thire airbag? Or Honda make you pay for a sea belt locking system? This is completely crazy! It’s a (Possible) life saving device not a F-ing gym membership!

“Capitalism makes a better case for socialism than socialism ever could.”

How strange!! I just wrote elsewhere in Gizmodo apropos some diswasher with a DRM-enabled soap dispenser cartridge a la HP, that like in a dystopian SF novel we’re turning into a society where all your home appliances will only work if you feed them money every time you want to use them.

Call it what it is: late stage capitalism.

I try to never bee too rude in the comments but here it goes:
This car is a complete pile of shit in almost every imaginable way. It’s not fast, it’s not well built, it’s not nice, and it’s going to break a lot, but at at least the roof leaks. Their is no 199- Oldsmobile anything that is worth $8495, I don’t care what…

ND Once again we are presented with a car that’s rare, well kept and has low mileage; but nobody gives a flying flick for it. These were forgettable in the 90s, why would it be collectible now?

I can’t quite articulate what’s so awful about this thing. I guess it’s just the absolutely intense mediocrity of it? Like when I think of a just generally depressing car, any kind of Oldsmobile probably springs to mind.

I agree w/you that there needs to be better communication here by jeep but i think youre discounting that no one and nothing can convince motivated partisans of anything.

I have been in so many online arguments with people that do not and will not accept that this has a ICE motor in it. They insist that it will be unusable further than 20 miles fro a charger. The local over landing club is full of guys that would not look at it because they think the battery will die on the way to the…

The blue stitching on the seats in my Pacifica e-Hybrid (FCA’s first PHEV) looks really nice.

The key in that sentence is “when it comes to the very basics.” The exterior look and power systems are unchanged across the board.

I'm kinda in between on the blue = electricity bit. I like it because it gives you an easy indicator of where the power is coming from. It's kinda like adding badges to signal different trims. I also don't like it because it clashes with red, which is my most favorite vehicle color. 

What do you think of the ‘blue’ equals electricity paradigm the manufacturers are pushing? :)

Thank you for the review!

“It’s Jeep’s first baby step toward the future, which critics are increasingly saying will be electric.”

I’m not sure it’s just the critics that are saying the future will be electric.
I think that…

I keep hoping we will collectively move past it as an industry but then GM went out and debuted its lowercase 'gm' logo to signal its commitment to EVs and I just........ sigh.

They're largely following the lower-case 'e' convention that's a Big Thing in the electric car world. I do not understand why the 'e' needs to be small in stuff like ePrix, e-Niro, CITIGOe, etc. but that's the way it be.

The Venn diagram of people that make these mods and people that drive their cars hard is almost a circle. They are mods I would like on my car if they were done by me, too weary about the car being mistreated by the last owner.
