Who would buy a chinese Jeep? raise your hand.
I would, actually. As would a lot of Cherokee/XJ owners.
Cash4Clunkers decimated, unnecessarily, the Cherokee/XJ population. The Cherokee was discontinued prematurely and in favor of an inferior replacement (the Liberty). Cherokee/XJ afficionados (Americans living in the PRC) who have experience with the ChiCom manufactured ones only have issues with the engines, which is a pretty easy fix - just yank and replace with an alternative (like the 4.0 litre straight six that was the types mainstay engine from 87 through the end of production.
I’m not sayng I’d use it as a daily or distance driver ( I don’t use the one I have for that anyway). But as a solid hackaroundand trail vehicle i’d have no problem with owning and operating one.
Same people that would buy an Ipod made by Chinese slaves.
