Jeep to stop stocking ICE models in CARB states

Jeep to stop stocking ICE models in CARB statesI think it might be that most Stellatnis franchisees are part of dealer groups Some customers will drive by the Jeep dealer and see one or two Wrangler 4XEs and head to their Ford or GM dealer for a Bronco or a midsize pickup, whether they are aware of the dealer ownership or not. Off lease and rental return Wrangler prices will probably increase. It might turn out to be a shrewd move on Stellantis' part. Shortly after Bronco came out, they had the molded-in color problem with the hard roofs and production was delayed. Some Bronco intenders cancelled their reservations and got Jeeps or other vehicles, but most held on and took the Bronco. Ergo, most folks will hold fast, if it is a desirable vehicle. Jeep Wrangler has a loyal following and Stellantis may be betting that a few will take the 4XE, or another brand, but betting that most ICE Wrangler buyers will shrug their shoulders and wait for an OTD ICE Wrangler to be built. This could be the start of moving the market to more of a European business model where most dealers don't stock acres of vehicles for spot delivery.Wed, 06 Mar 2024 15:19:34 +0000
