I honestly believe that the Jeep marketing team is quietly doing a ridiculously good job.

They're the only ones.
Thing is, I was a 'Jeep Guy' for quite a while, I've owned 4 in my lifetime and I've loved every single one of them. Even the last one which I hated with a passion until I learned to love it.
Jeep Patriot! Glorified gutless station wagon. I loved it. It was great.
When that one aged out and I needed a new car I was pretty simple. I liked that one, I'll just buy a new one.
Current Jeeps are just such crap. Crappy plastic fitted by disinterested children in far off lands and then sold to sentimental people for way, way too much money.
I think I've told this story before, I rented a Wrangler in Hawaii to drive the highway to Hanna and that thing was such a monumental heap of crap...I soothed myself with the explanation...'its just a rental.'
Yeah. Then my sister bought one.
We traded cars for a weekend so she could attend a Christmas market, she took my Tiguan and I took her Wrangler and she didnt want to give my VW back.
"Its so smooth and drives so nicely and everything works and its so nice!"
Yeah. And this Wrangler feels like its going to shake itself apart on the smoothest roads around...my brain would exit my skull if you took this thing on a rough road! As it is, my spine hurts. Who designed this suspension?
