but I'll have to search for it tonight and get back to ya... thats 3 years ago, just about! |
I have mine at home, I'll look and see if that info's on it. I thought I saw that info on a new JK at the dealer.

From my window sticker my JK has 79% US/Canadian parts content. This does not include final assy, distribution or other non-parts costs. Final assy point: Toledo, OH. Country of origin for engine: U.S. Transmission: Germany. Yes, we have the Germans to blame for the mediocre feel to the six speed tranny.

I'd suggest that if you want to take a stand, take it for those companies that pay back their bailout promptly. Otherwise, you should have never bought a Jeep in the first place (Chrysler was bailed out under Lee Iaccoca), and I'd hate to think that you'd reject a great motorcycle company such as Harley Davidson just because they asked for government assistance to stem the tide of cheap, Japanese knock-offs a couple decades ago. There are many more examples of U.S. companies getting into trouble and using government assistance in various forms to get back on track. |

Yup .. may be no Jeep at all when Chrysler Liquidates and Fiat gets tired of these silly Americans. FIAT already said they are walking away if deal isn't done by June 15 ...
That's what I've been afraid of. What I don't get is this: Court docs say if they liquidate the whole sha-bang, including Jeep, would fetch about 800 million. Those Indiana unions held about 1% or less of total Chrysler debt. They'd walk away with what, 8 million total? They're getting a better deal by letting the deal go through. I just don't get it. |
Here is the top 10 "American" (North America) content vehicles buy percentage, note the JK is not on it, the '08s have less American content than the '07s on almost all makes....
1. Ford F-150 2. Chevrolet Cobalt 3. Chevrolet Malibu 4. Pontiac G6 5. Toyota Tundra 6. Toyota Sienna 7. Honda Odyssey 8. Chevrolet Silverado 9. Chrysler Sebring 10. Ford Explorer/Sport Trac |
All this time I prided myself thinking I was driving an" American Icon". Wonder just where exactly the JK stands in American content?:thinking:
