Giving more power to it is lower oil prices which in turn would mean more americans willing to stretch for a gaz guzzler compared to before when it was off their list.
I don't think thats a good motivator to judge popularity. Oil prices fluctuate, I'm sure FCA is aware. I don't think they're that dumb to announce a product over a year out tied to trending oil prices. They're aiming at people who are relatively insulated against rising oil prices. Well not insulated, but they won't be underwater if their cost of fuel increases say 25% in a month...Giving more power to it is lower oil prices which in turn would mean more americans willing to stretch for a gaz guzzler compared to before when it was off their list.
I think Range Rover owners are loyal, there's nothing on the market exactly like them, I know a lot of owners that have continuously upgraded to every new RR that has come out rather than venturing out to other brands.I would think that Jeep customers are more loyal than Range Rover customers. Jeep has such a strong American aspect to the brand that really attracts people.
I'm not saying that they aren't loyal, I just think that Jeep customers are more loyal. I'd be interested to see some actual numbers though.I think Range Rover owners are loyal, there's nothing on the market exactly like them, I know a lot of owners that have continuously upgraded to every new RR that has come out rather than venturing out to other brands.
I just see Jeep as a patriotic and American brand. Land Rover I don't think has quite the same nationalistic connection.
Agreed. Again I'm not taking anything away from Land Rover, just comparing it to Jeep.They don't have that specific connection but they do have a connection with being some of the best SUV's out there and people overall understand that.
Little to go off of when comparing them.Agreed. Again I'm not taking anything away from Land Rover, just comparing it to Jeep.
That's true, good point.Just a matter of public opinion. Brands are abstract so its all a matter of opinion.
