The North American market needs a version of the Jimny, something to occupy the small lightweight off roader with an acceptable price tag space.

I 1, 000% agree, Jeep needs a true base model, true off roader that's roughly $30k. Back to Basics, I'd love to see that.

PREACH TOMMY -- Jeep is absolutely out of control

Last affordable wrangler had an inline 6

Part of the price problem is dealers seem to only order higher priced models for their stock.

The Blazer is Not back. That is not a real blazer. It's a cuv with an identity crisis.

I was surprised by the $4500 price for an automatic transmission.

We just got rid of our daughters 2012 Jeep JK Sahara, I've never had a Jeep with so many problems. In our 7 years of ownership we put over $10k in repairs! All she did was drive it to work and school, never off road. I doubt we would ever buy another one.

If people are cross shopping Jeeps and boats then the logical thing is to make Jeeps amphibious. That would capture both markets.

My wife bought a brand new 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JK in 2018 for $45, 000. Looks like they are almost $60k for a similar equipped model. 103, 000+ miles strong, been from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Ocean City MD to Crescent City CA and not an issue. No plans on getting rid of it.

I totally agree, $29, 995 is the perfect price for a sport with a six speed. I’m a sales consultant at a dealership and we ordered one to advertise for that price. It sold within a week of the advertisement.

Chrysler has abused the Jeep brand and it's customers for decades. The prices kept going up while the quality kept going down.
When we were car shopping Jeep wasn't even on the radar because of quality and durability concerns.

This video is spot on… the real appeal of a wrangler was it was affordable and customizable. You could start with a sport and make it what you want. Jeep as a brand has lost its way to a world of push button tops and creature comforts.

[forgingluck]

Base wrangler should be 20k and reliable. Not 40k and constantly broken.

Stellantis increased the prices of their vehicles 50% since 2019 while inflation over that same period was 22%.

Alex, if you tumble the back seats forward, there are straps with velcro, to stop them bouncing around. The straps have been there since the JL was launched.

Longtime (Jeep) owner here, most of them various flavors of the Wrangler. Just traded in my 21 Gladiator for a 24 Willys JLU. By far, this new one is the cheapest feeling Wrangler I’ve ever owned. I swear the body panels are thinner and mostly glued together. Cheap seat foam and seat material, rattles, hell they even cost cut the engine cover! For almost $60k, this may be the end of us owning Wranglers when this lease is up.

Good lawd, I got my 2015 Sport X for $21k. The ONLY option I have is A/C. Still have it 10 years later and I love it!

[mumwifeteacher]

Jeep should do a deal with Suzuki and bring a 20k version of the jimmy here as a back to basics off roader.

Mechanics love these things. Many a son and daughter's education and summer home in Barbados has been paid off by them.
