No one is disputing that. It's still branded Jeep...you're arguing a different point than anyone else is making.
Ford owned Land Rover from 2000-2007, no one ever bought a Ford Range Rover.
No, we got the Jeep Renegade. @Dads_bronze_bronco was pointing out the name won't change regardless of ownership. He wasn't saying a new parent company wouldn't work in their engineering and design philosophy at some point.
They've had trouble generating year over year growth, but net sales last year were $155.9B and operating income was $16.2B before depreciation and special items which is perfectly healthy from a "survival" standpoint. Earnings looked awful because they took huge one time write-downs on pension...
Keep in mind Spanish Flu occurred at a time when millions of young healthy adults were warring in the trenches, sanitation was woefully lacking around the world, patient record keeping was essentially non-existent, proper medical care was rarely available, and treatment frequently involved...

@indio22 @Dads_bronze_bronco - lot's of good discussion to be had regarding CFR vs IFR and where we're...
Some are conditioned not to believe it, for others maybe it's too abstract, but I suspect for most it's just a pretense - COVID isn't hurting them right now and economic instability is. They want the immediate pain to go away even if the alternative might be worse.
Also, as @Carolina Jim points...
I should be spending time with my family on Easter, instead I'm getting sucked into a discussion about why COVID is as serious as pretty much every acknowledges it is. FML.
Disclaimer - China is completely at fault for not containing the initial outbreak, and the information they've released is...
Wrong data for the wrong purpose. Results in NC to date are predominantly PCR tests conducted on sick or concerned persons to identify active infections and guide clinical response at the individual level. I'm not aware that NC, or any state, has begun large scale antibody screening studies to...
That's no longer accurate. There is an enormous amount of high quality data underpinning multitudes of statistically significant findings - almost certainly more than any other novel infectious disease relative to onset. We're still working to obtain conclusive, peer reviewed evidence in...
Instead of me wasting my time to convince you, how about you spend your time reviewing all the papers, models, and predictions used to inform our decision makers, throughout which there is near unanimous consent regarding the severity of the disease making such measures necessary, and tell us...
You joke, but I don't use one because my rig isn't nimble enough for it to matter. Never had any issues the standard ball setup though, and I appreciate having limited articulation when the trailer starts spending too much time with both wheels in the air :unsure:
Sounds like a win-win and hopefully tons of folks take you up on it.
My first car, I negotiated at the dealership...so painful. Way easier to do it by email nowadays without all the scummy bullshit.
@Nickp @Stampede.Offroad, I'm anticipating two things will make this timeline realistic.
1) Public understanding of and adherence to distancing and hygiene controls.
2) Widespread antibody testing.
As antibody testing ramps up across the country we'll have a much better understanding of who's...
