 Re: Jeep Sales Down in MayI agree about the engines.
I want to replace my wagon with a jeep, but it must get = to or better mileage. that would be 24/31 for my 1.8t vw wagon. The diesel has me very interested though, are they going to put that in the commander and wrangler. |

Re: Jeep Sales Down in May I guess it's a difficult time to sell gas-guzzling SUVs to the general populus. Better start offering some more efficient vehicles that qualify for big tax credits. Make the choice easier for the consumer and keep it affordable too.

Re: Jeep Sales Down in May hopefully the low sales will cause DC to continue to offer the 0% and offer it on ALL the models including the new 4 door wrangler - like the did on the Rubicon when it came out.

Re: Jeep Sales Down in May Sales will continue to drop until better engine options are seen, and if they truely wanted to increase sales, the gladiator would hit the dealers. What ever happened to the jeepster, the car looked amazing and would surely boost jeep sales...
