July 2011 Dispatch - Jeep News & Rumors
All The Latest Jeep News•Talk is heating up about a Jeep that’s a size capable of competing with the Mini Cooper.
•Re the above: So…see the ’08 Renegade concept.
•In February, Jeep sales were up 23 percent compared with February 2010.
•A book about Jay-Z claims there was going to be a Jay-Z edition of the Commander, with 22-inch rims, and special blue paint. Now we’re keeping our fingers crossed and bangs overgrown for a Justin Bieber–edition Jeep, like a Lieberty.
•On that note, it seems the next-gen Liberty will arrive in 2012, a year ahead of schedule. Expect it to reek of Fiat.
•Wrangler recall: More than 20,000 ’10-’11 Wranglers will be recalled for possible steering problems stemming from a “degradation of fastener torque for various front and rear axle attachments to the chassis module.” The fix will be for dealers to retorque the 19 fasteners. Questions? Call 800/853-1403.
•Jeep is trying to build a “photo mosaic” by giving everyone a chance to upload a fave Jeep photo on Facebook. Click the “Make History” tab on Jeep’s page.
•The Walter P. Chrysler Museum will have six sessions in its lecture/workshop series this year, including “70 Years of Jeep Heritage” on July 16. For more info on the others in the series and about tickets, go to wpchryslermuseum.org.
•U.S. News & World Report included the Wrangler in the article “Cars That’ll Look Good in 10 Years.” We concur. Except for the “cars” part.
•Fiat and GM will share ownership of VM Motori, which manufactures diesel engines. This can only mean diesels for Jeeps in North America, yes?
•Simply put, the Harris Interactive EquiTrend rankings show “which brands are doing it well,” with “it” referring to building brand loyalty. Consumers are surveyed, and equity for more than 1,200 brands in 46 categories is studied. For the 2011, in the category of automotive full line, Jeep landed in 11th position “at or above industry average equity scores.”
