About 1,100 workers at the Toledo, Ohio Jeep plant are facing layoffs as the company attempts to deal with an overstocked inventory. Could Jeep have avoided this by cutting prices or improving quality?

Start making JEEPS again, strip the extra $15-20k of unnecessary features off and just sell the actual Jeep!
The Fast Lane’s ‘Cheap Jeep’ videos are cool, but their ‘cheap’ Jeep was still around $35,000…
@Windsor
Yeah, with a $42k price tag and it still has manual windows…

Count me in! Make sure it’s something I can work on with common tools in my garage like my TJ.

Paid $50k and rainwater still drips down my arm from the Freedom Top 
I feel bad for the workers. They’re getting the short end of the stick due to Stellantis execs. It’s not their fault the parent company set ridiculous prices and ignored quality problems.
Maybe the market isn’t willing to spend 80-90k CAD on a Wrangler…

I love my 2012 JK, but I couldn’t even fit in a JL without smashing my head on the roof. Had to skip that whole generation. And the prices are crazy!
Lower the prices and make your vehicles reliable! There, fixed your company for you!
I’ve had Jeeps all my life, but this is the first time I don’t want another one. After my Gladiator is paid off, I’m done. The quality has dropped and the prices are too high.
