Complaining about issues with IG? - it’s not just Ineos…..

[DaveB]

Well I am very happy I have an Ineos, not a Jeep.
After Jeep sold less than 2,000 vehicles, across all models, in Australia last year it looks like they are closing the doors.
70 years they have been sold in Australia and finally the absolute crap vehicles are leaving.
Outsold by Ineos last year.

China, budgets and touch screen size.
And the rest.

"Outsold by Ineos last year."

Not a phrase I expected to read anytime soon. And certainly not about Jeep, (although the only Jeep I have ever wanted to own is probably a WW2 one and probably Ford).

I find this shocking. In America they are everywhere. There’s one on every street, if not two or three.

Ever heard the phrase “only in America” ?
Ducks for cover

I drove a ‘73 CJ5 304 V8 in rye early 80’s. I had a lot of fun but would never own a modern jeep.

Who would have left them there and are just piled up or stripped?

 

[Shoogs]

I had a good look at the 300 at one stage, Prado platform and running gear, so no wonder 200 Series hold and increased in value, Landrover tragic so bought the Ineos, if not a Patrol would be in the driveway.

Jeep and in fact most American manufactured vehicles have struggled to sell in Australia for many years due to very poor build quality, constant recalls or high prices due to need to convert from LHD to RHD.
Many European brands have had the same problem.
Japanese vehicles killed them and then Korean buried them.
I wanted a Wrangler for a fair while but they were rubbish if unmodified, particularly on road over long distances.

Jeep is as American these days as a Hyundai. Jeep-Dodge to Fiat (ahhh that day a certain someone sold out the American taxpayer, blessed be his name…) then to Stellantis. At least I think that’s how I remember it.
Is the Ford Bronco alive down under?

Not from Ford.
Small volume importers bring some in and convert them to right hand drive.
They cost about $150,000 so ………….
I haven’t seen one on the road.
