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?)

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.

I could live with more SRT models, if they bring in enough money to keep
the more offroad versions available.  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.

Don't forget that that first Jeep 'Wrangler' ever sold in Canada where
we actually use 4x4 on the roads, comes in 'two' wheel drive.....

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.

But didn't also Remington & Winchester merge long ago?
So if we have Remington, Winchester, Jeep, and Bushmaster, what would
you call the company?

No, you gotta come up with something else but I admire the originality!
