Stellantis CEO Tavares has resigned

[roaniecowpony]

Not sure I give a damn at this point. I don't think I will buy another jeep. This one should take me through to the end of my jeeping days. If not, I'll probably go full buggy or TJ.

I'm with you 100% on that. This will be my last (new) Jeep simply because Jeep's idea, and my idea of what a Jeep should be, just don't align.

Where do I send my resume?

"Stellantis shares have lost around 40% of their value this year."

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy... I am not optimistic; Stellantis will just replace him with an even bigger crook. It is a foreign conglomerate, and sees Americans like you and me as marks, not customers.

Yes...And we all know when this happened and who was responsible.

Not really a surprise at all, wonder if it will make a difference or not.

I had a younger passenger in my JK this summer who didn’t know what the extra handle was for on the inside of the door. I told them it was for rolling down the window. Completely shocked they tried it, ”wow, it works“ then proceeded to roll the window up and down like 5 times in a row.
As a kid I never understood what it ment when my grandfather would say “the good old days are all behind us.”

Effective today, Carlos Tavares is out at Stellantis.

Maybe the new CEO will decide to sell off the Jeep brand to raise cash. One can only hope....

I'm just a little bit ahead of you... This is the '97 TJ I picked up this summer. With the 4.0 and the AX-15 5-speed, it's way more fun to drive than the JL:

When I went to pick up my '22 2dr Willys, the owner of the dealership had a fully equipped 2004 TJ Rubicon with 32K miles on it sitting in the showroom. It was the same color (with a hard top) as my new '22, and was pristine! Needless to say I thought hard about it for about 5 minutes, after all, I was paying cash....

I kick myself all the time for making the wrong choice!

Meh. The Wrangler has been the only thing about FCA/Stellantis that had any appeal to me. Always regarded the Charger and Challenger as junk.

Sounds about right…..coming from an Angry Grill Driver.

In other news…..more skeletons in the closet for Elkann…..

Bruh, that's not my Jeep in the avatar. I put it there to punk people like you.

I, too, made the wrong choice. But keep your eye out... It's not too late to make things right...

This one belonged to an ex-sheriff friend of mine who takes fanatical care of his stuff. It's immaculate, 102K miles, and came with all 3 tops (hard, soft, Bimini) for $8200.

As soon as I get the kinks worked out of the JL, it's down the road. And it's in nice enough shape yet with only 18K miles, it should dissuade someone from buying new. Take that, Stellantis.

Oh yeah I'll keep my eyes out because you're right, they're out there.
Contemplating putting my JL up for sale too.

After driving the LJR this past week I realized I miss a normal steering wheel. The "fat" rim steering wheels that are all the rage now days suck. I don't want a "leather" wrapped monstrosity anymore. The way my arm naturally rested on the top of the door with the perfectly sized steering wheel...oh and the transfer case shifter that didn't gouge my right calf either...Even though the TJ interior is smaller than the JLs it makes better use of the space IMO. It doesn't "feel" like a smaller interior. This is immediatley noticable going staight from the TJ to the JL back to back.

Jeep needs a real Jeep person kind of CEO that understands this stuff.
