BLHTAZ Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 JP is nothing but a junk rag anyway. I have no use for them... :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Actually FIAT is buying Jeep. Gods honest truth. They were given a 35% stake in Chrysler in order for Chrysler to be able to sell small fuel efficient cars in the US. They are looking at getting another 20% soon, probably from Daimler who still holds 20%. If you don't beleive me , look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason for the partnership is just for Fiat to get some of their cars over here. Cerberus has stated many times that they will not split up the company. If someone were to buy Jeep, they would have to buy chrysler and Dodge too. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/20/brea ... rtnership/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Fiat is not buying Jeep. Fiat and Chrysler have a partnership.

AMC's purpose in "partnering" with Renault was to get some smaller, more economical cars in the showroom, too, while Renault's motive was to get access to an established dealer network. And the cars were junk. Which is why Renault had never been able to sell them, and which was why AMC was not able to sell them. Now here we are, 30 years later, watching an instant replay. "Partnership." Riiiiiight ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepdoggydogB Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Not everyone is a member there. Go ahead and post the pictures.Its odd, I am a member but I can't access those pictures anylonger. An yes JP is a rag but I do have a little while longer on the subscription. Pewe's (former JP editor) 4 wheel drive is a much better magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I always enjoy their April fools articles. It's great that one magazine doesn't take themselves too seriously and realizes that it is all about having a good time. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few months ago Daimler declared that their Chrysler stock had zero value and walked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
