My Ford has a engine made in Germany. It sucks, but you know that Chinese Jeep parts stand a chance of being imported. Sometimes major parts like drive trains.
How many of y'all own a foreign car that is built in the USA? the Tundra is built in the USA and all the money goes to another country... this is just the opposite to what Jeep is going to do and if the money comes back to the USA is will be good....

I have a jeep liberty diesel and freaking love it 30 mpg
Incorrect. All the people who work at the tundra plant get paid. That money stays here. All of the money for the American made parts and the salaries of those who make them stays here. American stock holders of Toyota stock...their money stays here. I would rather buy a non UAW Toyota than any big 3 Obama motors, UAW union crap.
Toyota, Hyundai, BMW and others who build in the states, do as much or more for Americans, than "American" car makers, who make their products in Mexico, Canada and China.

That's a fact. The Crapsler V6 is pure junk. Many many failures. I owned several 4.0 Jeeps that had tons of miles on them... and still going strong.
That old 1970s argument doesn't hold water.
Wife drives a Honda Accord... built in Ohio by Americans out of 88% US produced parts. Workers, parts suppliers, delivery drivers, warehouse staff, transport drivers, dealership employees all get to keep their American dollars made off of it... while lots of big ole 'Merican trucks are being built in Mexico using a LOT of cheap ass Chinese parts. My GMC (built in Indiana)has Chinese brake rotors, calipers, electronics, etc.
Make sense of that.
I've had quite a few 4.0s jeeps, and have never been stranded. Have limped home many times though.
Its a global economy....SOME money goes to other countries, just like when you buy an "American" car....some money goes to other countries.
My point is that I would rather pay good, non union, workers to build my vehicle in the U.S. before I pay some dope smoking union thug who wants $46 an hr to sweep the floor and wants the government to supplement his union when it proves to be a bad business model.
I would rather pay a Texan to build a Tundra here, than a Canadian or Mexican to build a Ford or Chevy in Canada or Mexico.
American auto makers are very successful in China for the local market. The danger for us is the loss of intellectual properties shared between the automakers and their local JV partners as well as the rest of the local supply chain. The local guys are getting stronger and more profeccient using what the US automakers taught them.
There was nothing wrong with my 2.5L YJ. In fact that motor is still running strong for the guy who bought it.
I was more referring to the minivan jeeps. The 2.5 is gtg. I never got one because the mpg isnt good enough for me to justify 4 cyls.
