XS11E - 20 Jun 2007 01:08 GMT I see where Remington Arms has agreed to be purchased by Cerberus. Wonder if they'll start offering a shotgun with each Jeep sold?
The advertising potential is interesting since Jeep and Remington are both associated with hunting.....
Wonder what will develop if anything?
Off topic but still a related question, Cerberus previously bought Bushmaster, will Remington and Bushmaster be combined into one company (probably Remington?)

Stupendous Man - 20 Jun 2007 04:45 GMT Jeep was bought by Chrysler, who use a pentagram as their symbol, and copied Mercedes' styling, like the lettering on the trunk. Mercedes, Hitler's coachbuilder, bought Chrysler, and Jeep. Now Jeep is owned by Cerberus, the three headed dog who guards the gates of hell. What next for Jeep?

I think they're going away. I hope not but that's what I suspect.

Actually I would prefer ride height control on an SRT version with both hot street and decent trail capability, but thats just me.
The SS396 El Camino never really hurt Chevy trucks much... different strokes and all that crap.
The models I really don't much care for are the glorified mini-van models. Somehow there is something different between a Grand Cherokee with a big motor and factory lowering and a glorified mini-van with the Jeep name on it...at least to me. I could even see a street rod Wrangler that wouldn't tip over in corners... as long as it doesn't fornicate up the trail Wranglers.
Sadly, the mini-van contingent seems more willing to buy crap.

If you could figure out how to get a big enough electric source in the thing, think of the crawl capability of an engine that develops max torque at stall. With one of them feeding each wheel independently, adjustable wheelspin controls, etc. Of course electric motors also tend to develop a tad of heat under load which probably shoots that idea in the head until the Flux Capacitor or a nuke power plant is more available.
