He also doesn't have a cover for his trunk cubby to fit a 2 gallon air tank under. Well neither do I yet but I'm working on it. :)

Jeep in China
by Gualberto Ranieri
October 25, 2012 4:24 PM
There are times when the reading of a newswire report generates storms originated by a biased or predisposed approach.

On Oct. 22, 2012, at 11:10 a.m. ET, the Bloomberg News report “Fiat Says Jeep® Output May Return to China as Demand Rises” stated “Chrysler currently builds all Jeep SUV models at plants in Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Manley (President and CEO of the Jeep brand) referred to adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China.”

Despite clear and accurate reporting, the take has given birth to a number of stories making readers believe that Chrysler plans to shift all Jeep production to China from North America, and therefore idle assembly lines and U.S. workforce. It is a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats.

Let’s set the record straight: Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China. It’s simply reviewing the opportunities to return Jeep output to China for the world’s largest auto market. U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation. A careful and unbiased reading of the Bloomberg take would have saved unnecessary fantasies and extravagant comments

Question. Is the Chinese plant a assembly plant or does it build the parts as well? Two if its an assembly plant where are the pieces of the Jeeps made that is plant will assemble into Jeeps.

I don't care about the numbers...Jeeps should be built in the USA by the men and women of this great country.

Just because something can be made cheaper in China doesn't mean it should be.

So you're saying that your finance and accounting degrees are worthless because emotion is far more important than the actual numbers...? Well, hope you are ready for higher and higher vehicle costs then.

I just read through this whole thread and only figured out two things:

1. You are all smarter than me;

2. Obama does not wheel, so I'm not voting for him! (Romney may not either, but at least he wears cowboy boots once in a while.)

Done. Try to top that!:thumb:

He also wears magic underpants and supports people who give women no rights over their bodies. A vote for Romney is a vote for ignorance, plain and simple.

You've been topped...

Not worthless at all. They add to the value of my services for certain types of cases, which translates into a premium that clients are willing to pay. I gladly pay more for certain products that are made in the USA and I would pay a reasonable premium to ensure Jeeps continued to be built here on American soil.

Oh no, if I'm reading this right, it Clearly states investing in overseas is a bad idea.

"Ford (NYSE: F) and GM (NYSE: GM) release earnings in the next several days. Overseas sales, particularly in Europe, will weigh their earnings down."

"Chrysler has almost no sales in China either. Overall car sales for all manufacturers in the world largest, and up until recently the most attractive, market have stalled."
Click to expand...

"As it turns out, the efforts of Chrysler’s rivals to hold and expand international sales have damaged them."

So my question would be, why would Chrysler invest in a zero market that has harmed their competitors?

They already made the investment in the 80's when the plant was built. There was a rush to get into China as an emerging market and their partnership with the Beijing Jeep Corp didn't go well for a long time. The crash in Europe destroyed their market there so the closed the plant on 2009. They are now reopening it because of increased demand in China.

It doesn't matter if Jeep is built in China like everything else! We buy them,strip them down,and replace the crap parts with TOP OF THE LINE USA PARTS! Dynatrac, Off Road Evolution,Advance Adapters,OR-FAB,and on and on...That's what makes our jeeps "JEEPS" and our money for the parts and labor stays HERE!:rock::beer:
