It won't take long for all of the the other brands to follow suit. Hopefully jeep patented the idea.

Presumably the ad will be a reminder to perhaps buy another Jeep.

  Nothing says Jeep more than "hey if it ain't broke, buy an extended warranty"

CR called Jeep the worst car brand in America.

Is Jeep's reputation the same in Europe? I've been thinking of making a "sentiment database" for car brands where users share their personal, subjective view of a car make/model. I'm sure something like this probably already exists.

  My immediate response was “they still make those?!”, but they actually still seem to be on sale here! Not sure I’ve seen one in the last decade or so; make of that what you will.

  According to [1] Jeep is the 24th-best-selling car brand in Europe. Their sales of 11.4k cars in October put them just between Mazda (12.3k cars) and Porsche (10.3k cars) with roughly 1% market share. But they are at least competing in the market - some brands like Chevy, Chrysler and Subaru don't even make the top 25. Of course many of these brands are ultimately owned by the same multinationals. Stellantis-owned Jeep, Dodge and Ram brands aren't doing well in Europe, but their Opel, Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, Alfa Romeo and Fiat brands are selling just fine.

      Well, I don't know what counts as success really. But if Peugeot sold 61k cars in Europe, Opel/Vauxhall 31k, Citroen 23k and Fiat 18k the group overall is much better placed in the EU than Jeep's sales of 11.4k would imply.

Jeep is a solid car, now it seems it's just being mismanaged badly.
