I have no idea if this is the case here, but one possibility is deliberate coorporate sabotage. Like planting "bad people" on the board or in key positions.

Either by competition or by hedge funds that want to short it into the ground ("cellar boxing").

Just incompetency is another option of course.

The fact of the matter is there’s no replacement for a jeep. Not the grand cherokees and other “fake” jeeps but the gladiator and wrangler have no competition in the segment they’re built for. they can get away with a lot for that reason alone.

Nonsense. You just like their particular aesthetic, theres nothing unique a jeep can do that some other car cant.

[tekknik]

this response means you don’t understand the benefits of solid axles in off-road situations. one wheel goes up, the other goes down. google “jeep flex” and point to an independent suspension system that does the same.

or admit you don’t know about vehicles.

This is like when audiophiles tell me they can hear the difference with their $50 gold plated connectors.

You're talking about a vanishingly tiny and irrelevant demographic that decides on a car based on placebo and branding.

A car is a thing that gets you from point A to point B.

Like how statism and nationalism is all the same and we could erase every country on the planet without making anyone angry. One-size-fits-all in everything from headphones to car choices to religion to law.

Right???

lol what in the world?

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

[MrMetric]

For corpos, I view things the opposite way: Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.

[Anarch157a]

For corpos, I attribute it to BOTH. They're malicious AND stupid.

[sleight42]

I like to point out that sufficient stupidity/ignorance can be indistinguishable from malice. Consider it the impact of people living within their bubbles or the result of enormous blindspots.

[account42]

That's a really great guideline ... if you want to help out malicious people. Not everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.

[franktankbank]

Always said with the implication that whatever happened can be "adequately explained by stupidity"...
