History of Jeep part 2

[a1awind]

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.

Same things in a jeep book i have had for years i think its called "jeep the unstopable legend" or something like that. It's a shame...

[tkgibbs27]

i had actually read that about a month ago on the internet, i forget what i was looking up, but it had something to do with jeeps and it had a bit of info on that.

If that book is by Jim Allen, he has stated that several times in other books he has written about Jeeps.

It was said before that book.... Thats why they won't bring it back either.. will compete with the Ram's now

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).

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!
