The car screen is a nice flat surface to attach the suction cup of your phone mount.

Dodge was owned by DaimlerChrysler in 99. I only know that because my family was in the car business and weren't happy about that merger
Yep, all connected /same garbage IMHO I was a big DSM (Diamond Star Motors) fan back in the mid/late 90's had a couple AWD Talons.

No fucking way. Not even if the car was free.
Now hold on there, I'd let them do the ads and the vehicle tracking bs if the car was nice and it was free.
If I'm buying the car, there's no fucking way.

The ad they show is an ad for their own extended warranty package and it says that "Odometer must be less than 36000 miles to purchase" Anyone wanna take bets for whether or not that will actually shut up once you go over 36k miles? (I'm betting no)
We're really deep into nightmare territory with the kind of stuff companies feel its ok to do to customers..
If the jeep even makes it to 36k.

Ok, I’ll bite.
Did OP just time travel 25 years and post something from Slashdot?
I mean fark.com is still kicking, last I checked. I feel like some of these old sites are the web equivalent of BIFL products.

And if the only way you remember that is by a strong hook and bass line, I've got you covered.

The really funny thing is that the only reason I even know about Barbara Streisand is because of that picture.

A friend of mine bought a Jeep last year and it looked cool so we were thinking if this would be something for us as a next car.
But sadly I'm allergic to advertisement, so I guess a Jeep is out of question until they rethink it.
I don't recommend anyone buy a Jeep, not because of the ads but because they're built like shit. Quality has been in free fall for decades while prices have skyrocketed. Death wobble issues (Wranglers), motor reliability out the window, rust, more rust, just not worth it.
I owned a 94 Cherokee and I loved it, and even though that 4.0L straight 6 had problems at least it would still run with bad piston rings, mysterious battery drain and holes in my radiator. The new ones just can't compete.

There'll be a special maintenance package that will be available. Then it'll be ads for new Stellantis vehicles.

I was looking for a car a few months ago and was looking at newer models, used, but mostly less than a decade old. Then I started reading about all the tracking and such.
I gave in to my inner teenager and bought a 2001 Porsche 911.
The entertainment center can connect via Bluetooth but there's no Android Auto, no navigation. It has Sirius XM but I never had a subscription to it and never will.
I might add a backup camera but that's it. My phone is more than enough tracking, even with as much of it shut off as possible.

Not a chance. The new “infotainment” clusters integrate necessary features like climate control to prevent aftermarket replacements in most vehicles. I honestly don’t know if any manufacturers even use the single and double DIN standards anymore.
Mazda is supposedly one of the last major automakers that has mostly physical controls in their cars. Definitely at the top of my list for any future car purchases.
-
Please do. But keep in mind, when I invariably get jump-scared by your infotainment system and crack my head on the car ceiling, I'm going to turn your revenue stream into my personal early retirement pension.
Oh don't be silly. It was YOU who got distracted! The laws are for thee, not me!
-The corporation, probably

Oh this is the first time I've seen this wiki in the wild, neat!

I don't understand how this is related to the Streisand Effect. The Streisand Effect is when you try to suppress unflattering info about yourself, and in the process you call attention to it, so now everyone knows. But we didn't learn about this through Jeep trying to suppress the info, we just learned about it from people who saw the ads.

Jeep is a Stellantis product. Literally the worst quality auto manufacturer in North America. They are circling the drain and jacking up the prices on their vehicles and making Pikachu faces when they don't sell. Their only customers are people who don't know how to research their purchases, and putting advertisement hell into their cars is another example of that. I suspect they will not be in business a decade from now.
I work in the auto industry. Can confirm, Stellantis is in bad shape. I wouldn't buy anything from them.

I had two Jeeps, first was originally my dad's. It was an old shitbox. The other one was a somewhat old shitbox. 1998 & 2010. We dumped more time and money into them than I'd care to admit.

"Check Engine light on again? Check out the new 2027 Jeep Wagoneer! You'll definitely get more miles out of the new one compared to the 2025 model thats now broken"

I dunno man. Harrison Ford made it sound like it was more rewarding than raising children and more important than world peace. You gonna turn your back on what seems to be something more fulfilling to Harrison Ford than religion just because it's an inferior product and it's pushing ads in your face like a free playstore game?
