If I needed a reminder to never buy a Jeep

It won't take long for all of the the other brands to follow suit. Hopefully jeep patented the idea.

Is Jeep's reputation the same in Europe?

I've been thinking of making a "sentiment database" for car brands where users share their personal, subjective view of a car make/model. I'm sure something like this probably already exists.

According to [1] Jeep is the 24th-best-selling car brand in Europe.

Their sales of 11.4k cars in October put them just between Mazda (12.3k cars) and Porsche (10.3k cars) with roughly 1% market share.

But they are at least competing in the market - some brands like Chevy, Chrysler and Subaru don't even make the top 25.

Of course many of these brands are ultimately owned by the same multinationals. Stellantis-owned Jeep, Dodge and Ram brands aren't doing well in Europe, but their Opel, Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, Alfa Romeo and Fiat brands are selling just fine.

It's called the JD Power survey: https://driving.ca/auto-news/awards-surveys/vehicles-problem...

(an owner survey; rating the brand of a car you don't own is so subjective as to be of very limited use except to car marketers)

My immediate response was “they still make those?!”, but they actually still seem to be on sale here! Not sure I’ve seen one in the last decade or so; make of that what you will.

No, but the parent company is huge and makes some of the most popular brands - Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat, Open, Vauxhall.

CR called Jeep the worst car brand in America.

Tesla is now fighting hard for this title.

> "In-dash advertising is here and Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram, beat everyone to further enshittification,"

So that's why Stellantis is testing this with Jeep: Nothing to lose.

Jeep is a solid car, now it seems it's just being mismanaged badly.

[soheil]

Presumably the ad will be a reminder to perhaps buy another Jeep.

[Maxious]

Nothing says Jeep more than "hey if it ain't broke, buy an extended warranty"

[DonHopkins]

Friends don't let friends drive Jeeps.

[aembleton]

Are Jeep drivers friendless?
