No Sergio, we do not. Unlike some Chrysler execs who's questioning of Mr. Marchionne led to such outbursts, we have always had faith in Mr. Marchionne's Fiat-led takeover. With the results of Sergio's leadership finally bearing fruit, things are starting to look good for Chrysler. Take for example the new Jeep Grand Cherokee.
We haven't had the opportunity to actually drive it yet, but we have sat in both the base Larado trim level as well as the top of the line Overland trim. You'll come away pretty impressed. We'd put the quality of the interior on par with any competitor. Attached is Automobile Magazine's review. The biggest criticism is the dated transmission, which will be replaced for the '13 model. The major spot where we disagree with some critics is the steering wheel, who give Jeep some flack for its thickness. We actually like the meaty steering wheel. It makes the vehicle feel sturdy and powerful. Maybe over long drives it becomes uncomfortable, but we honestly don't know what the big fuss is. If Sergio can continue rolling out products as good or better than the new Grand Cherokee, Chrysler's future looks pretty good. Attached is a like to a review. We hope this is the first of many posts!
