I read someplace, from some auto review mag that Jeep will discontinue the Compass/Patriot after Fiat comes in next years as a major partner? Both models have finally built a fan following and the Compass was just revamped this year with a new front end that makes it look like a mini Grand Cherokee. I had a 2007 Compass and it was great for the price and it did everything asked of it. Hate to see Jeep defer to a foreign car maker to supply us with small SUVs. Anyone know about this? Next year? This is the problem with Chrysler, the spend millions to develop a model and then change their minds after many people purchase them.
Ashlee,thanks the link that works great. And you are so right, all of the big three were making economy cars (or importing them under their US badge) and the had limited markets because we, the consumers, didn't buy them in favor of huge vehicles we had no use for them.... the Hummer was the tipping point for absurd vehicles. I know that Fiat is marketing the Dodge Journey in Europe next year (2012) with a diesel and calling it the Fiat Fairmont or some name similar to that but I had not seen any press on what Fiat/Chrysler was releasing in the US yet. You answered the question which was are they are aren't they...I have two answers so far, one is 40 pounds of know it all blah blah blah that does not answer the question and your answer which is spot on. I think I have to wait awhile before I can crown you but unless someone comes up with something better you are royal.
