Not YET.

Listen, I have heard this song and dance before. Production will leave the US once the plants in China get up to speed.

Yes, that may happen for some US name plate cars ( already has, for some time. I had a friend in college (not an exceptionally bright one) in college who paid a premium markup on a Geo Tracker over an identical Suzuki Sidekick because his “buy American” philosophy.

Jeep is near and dear to my heart. I have a 1996 Cherokee that don’t ever plan to get rid of. I’ll either be buried in it or pass it along to one of my kids. I’m also saving up to buy a restored WWII Jeep ( would prefer a Willys but will probably settle for a Ford).

No CEO of Jeep ( or it’s parent companies ) is going to be dumb enough to actually shut down production here in favor of moving off shore. Ever hear of “New Coke”? THAT fiasco still reverberates ( and will continue to do so long after you, me and everyone else on FR is dead and gone) as a case study in not doing stupid things with iconic American brands.
