a1awind Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 was at barnes and noble today and was flipping through the "History of Jeep Part 2". and found a paragraph that blatantly states that the Comanche was axed because it was a competitor to the Dakota! finally someone admits to one of Chryslers big mistakes.

DansGreyMj Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I knew that but, Why did they kill the xj? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burls Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I knew that but, Why did they kill the xj? Aging platform. I read somewhere that the Grand was supposed to replace the XJ, but Chrysler kept it off the chopping block because XJ sales were still going strong(No idea how true that is).

a1awind Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 the xj was too reliable probably. When i was a ford service adviser we periodically had designers and engineers come in. I had an engineer tell me to my face that "the 300 inline 6 was replaced with the 4.2 because the 300 was too reliable". i had always heard of that but i didn't believe it till then!
