Is Stellantis just now realizing that the small-midsize CUV market is probably the most competitive segment in the country, and you can’t get away with using a 9 year old platform when the competition is doing full redesigns every 4-5 years? Bless their little hearts. 

I don't understand the Cherokee in its current form. It's not an off roader, it's not particularly comfortable, it's not cheap, it's not unique, it's just....there. And for a Jeep, that's a crime. 

You see a ton because FCA/Stellantis DID sell a ton of them, just not within the past couple years 

Good riddance. 4 or 5 years ago they were still a solid choice, leases were cheap and they could be bought new pretty much loaded for the low to mid 30s.

Old platform, the 9 speed ZF baggage, prices got hiked as eliminated base trim/drivetrain so a low trim level new Grand Cherokee is worth stretching for, below has the Compass with the fresh interior (and new drivetrain coming) and which is essentially as capacious as the KL and costs far less. Basically the KL is an…

Hope they are wrong about the lack of a plug. Even a relatively short all electric range can be nice.

I drive Mazdas.

From the greys, ignored for years: I bought my ‘21 Corolla Hatch very specifically because it was made in Japan, by Japanese workers. Make of that what you will.

Hey pleebs, it’s time to lose more than half of your tiny “fortunes” again! How’s that 401k/Roth IRA working out for ya? Still empty? Hey, it’s your “personal responsibility” to save money for retirement in a way that is most profitable to Wall Street. Oh you did? But it’s worth less than you put in? Gosh, I’m sorry I…

ok fine i’ll give you a star for that

Okay Jalops, I say we pool our money to keep Borgward alive, once in control we can then build nothing but brown manual rear wheel drive station wagons!

Not only that, but what happens when you add in a Fed that has basically promised to keep raising rates until these jabronis stop spending so much goddamn money?

See Kyree’s comment. :) I’m still a devoted reader here, but continuing my work elsewhere!

I think the take here is that the seller has had this thing for six months and is sick and tired of it. At least that is my opinion, but to each their own.

Does this mean that now I’ve got to go around to gas pumps plastering them with Joe Biden “I did this” stickers?

Car sales love to appeal to the irrational side. Shiny new car, new car smell...you need it, you want it today. Oh yea, only $500 a month? I can afford that, lets do it. I know my used car is worth more than that, but who cares, I want the new one.

Oh I know. This is why we need to eliminate the dealer model entirely in the US. People need to stop believing that they should go and look at a car today and drive it off the lot tomorrow. But we both know that will never happen so this nonsense will continue indefinitely. Right now it’s a sellers market and the…

It might help if you could actually make it easier to get a new Toyota.
