No doubt FCA has a LOT of problems right now, but their "dump cars and focus on CUV" strategy is interesting. I'm not sure how viable it is long-term - they'd better move quickly onto something else once the CUV fad starts to get stale - but for now, having 3 separate but overlapping CUVs in the Jeep showroom is unique. Not to mention the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, and their variants.
The 2.4 Tigershark doesn't get a lot of love, but it's comparable output to the larger compact CUV class, and a lot more power than the subcompact CUVs (Juke excepted). How's reliability on that engine? I'm assuming it's better than the 1.4T from Fiat
I hope the M/T isn't as crappy as it supposedly was in the Dart though.
Tooscoops, with all the overlap in size, mechanicals, and pricing between the Renegade/Compass/Cherokee, how are you going to differentiate these models for the customers?
