So much for a legendary American automotive icon.

That must hurt Barack a lot. OWWWWWW!

"Obama is such a fan of Jeep that he included a picture of himself speaking at the Toledo plant in his newly released second term agenda binder."

Binder? I thought Romney was the one with a binder problem! Dog whistle alert! Bwa-hahahahahahahahaha....

This has been covered on at least three other threads. The article in the Examiner being cited is second-hand from a Bloomberg article and is extremely misleading.

Jeep is not talking about shifting production to China, but localizing Chinese market production in China.

Original source article can be found here

Two quotes from the original article (emphasis mine):

“We’re reviewing the opportunities within existing capacity” as well as “should we be localizing the entire Jeep portfolio or some of the Jeep portfolio.”

"Manley referred to adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China."

Just more evidence that the much vaunted Obama bail-out lined the pockets of the unions but did little to address the long-standing structural and financial issues impacting the industry...largely caused by the unions.

Moving Jeep production to China, if true, is one thing. But another article says Jeep may move Jeep production to its Fiat Plant in Italy, and that, is quite another.

A Chinese made/assembled Jeep I may buy. But a Jeep made/assembled by FIAT!, no fricken way. At least in China you know that the workers will actually 'work'. But the lazy socialists in Italy, they avoid 'work' like its soap and water.

There are a couple Italian made cars I would buy ('F', 'L' and 'M'), but not until I win the Mega-Lotto. As even though they're top class cars you still need a mechanic on your staff.

Back in 1977 I (we) almost did buy a Lambo, like this one 'luckily' the dealer was closed.

-—— ‘iconic’ Wrangler——

Both of my next door neighbors have wranglers.

One weighs over 350 and seldom goes anywhere except to work. He keeps it in the garage except to got to work and to wash it

The other neighbor has an old one. It was red but now is primer black. Once in a while he takes off the top and drives it on Saturday chores.

Both of the icons represent rugged individual wannabe’s

So glad I sold my Wrangler and bought an American-made Ford F-150. I’m getting 5 MPG more from a vehicle that is superior in almost every way (not a better off-road vehicle, but other than that...)

...his newly released second term agenda binder comic book.

There, fixed it.

The Chrysler bail out by Obama compells Jeep to remain in the United States?

Buahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Americans soon will not have enough money to buy a pot to pi$$ in , let alone expensive vehicles , and who would want a US gov necessitated electric jeep anyway?

Better to go to communist China where there is more capital and the economy is freer than it is in the USA, with no environmental regulation, labor problems, or government intervention if the raising of capital.And a gasoline powered vehicle is not politically incorrect in
China.

GO JEEP GO!

Chrysler states they are not moving production to China.

My finances are finally settling down after retirement and I NEED a vehicle that I can trust in snow.

The Jeep was my first choice but if they move to China...no longer.

[dalereed]

Complete distortion!!!

They only intend to shift production of vehicles sold in China to be produced there!

They are going to expand domestic production!!
