Whoa, ease up there cowboy... I’m not going to buy a bad car just to support American industry. My truck is a daily driver, unlike the “long list of American classic cars” that you have yet to purchase. And my truck was “Made in the USA” by American labor in an American plant—just not the bloated labor force of the UAW.
What a company did 60+ years ago is irrelevant—or do you want companies to pay reparations for supporting slavery 160+ years ago too? A true conservative wants the market to decide which products survive—and I suggest that Chrysler makes a worse overall product than many of its competitors.
I drove a Grand Wagoneer many years ago and absolutely loved it until the cost of maintaining it went through the roof. It was probably the same vintage as your Cherokee...so I know they DID make a good product once...just not now (or recently). I also owned a Dodge Ram truck that I loved until the transmission went out and Dodge wouldn’t replace it, even though it was the same problem they recalled bunches of trucks for. Caveat emptor.
It may be “irrelevant” to you, but not to those of us who have served our country in battle. Now run along and go peddle your Bravo Sierra to someone is doesn't know their American history.
Semper Fi,
Kelly
