Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop
-
Easy, they call their cars something like renegade or maveric and some idiots pay 80k for that shitbox
-
I've known several Jeep owners over the last decade and those that weren't buying it strictly for the 'Jeep clout' as an actual vehicle/daily driver had constant issues, while under warranty, and dealt with issues even trying to get said warranty work done.
Like that wasn't enough for me, on top of that I had a mechanic with his own shop that said he'd never touch another Jeep because of how horribly they are designed to work on. Anything from ease of access to work on the engine to bolts stripping out because they were overtorqued during assembly and made with shit metals that would sooner melt than come off in one piece.
Now this? Yeah, hope they go bankrupt. This is just as bad as BMW and their 'pay a subscription for seat warmers' bullshit. -
I think cars peaked ca. 2010. Anything added after that are annoyances or things being taken away.
If I could get a brand new facelift E90, that would probably be my next car.

Cyberpunk 2077 here we come.
except its just the Corpo shit. -
Yeah I've never heard anything good about jeeps in general. Now they are being run further into the ground by trying to become a luxury brand. At least when it was just a shitty jeep, it was still a somewhat cheap shitty jeep.

Toyota Sales here
Boy do I have some BMW Heated seat subscription crap to sell you(Its not quite as bad as BMW. But one thing that really irks customers is the remote starter is restricted to a subscription service. unless you're one of the lucky ones who got a vehicle that installed the wrong part/fuses. in which case you can still remote start your car with the fob. its still very finnicky)

Drivers don't need to be watching the road, they need to be watching this ad.
-
You know, I've got to give their marketing team props for managing to sell a vehicle with the engineering quality of a Saturn to people with more money than sense for a whole ass order of magnitude more than it's worth. Game recognizes game.
-
Yup, Toyota has been solid for me. Though admittedly, they’re also one of the worst in regards to data privacy; You should assume that every single thing you do in a Toyota is being recorded and sent back to a Toyota server for ad/tracking purposes.

It means you dont need to shit on a random interest. What did rock crawlers and off-roaders do to you?
-
Be as interested in Jeeps as you like.
Saying you're part of a culture because you bought something (especially something prohibitively expensive) is not something I will do anything but mock.
I don't hear about "Mercedes Culture" or "Nissan Culture." Probably because people way into those cars understand that it isn't a culture just to be into a car.
-
Fuck this shit. I don't even want to ever buy a newer car these days. Too much invasive bullshit.
-
Reducing peoples interests to consumerism is your culture i guess.
If i buy a mountain bike is my culture a mountain biker? How often do i have to ride to be justified in thay belief? How often do i have to post online about bikes? How many hours of youtube do i need to watch of mountain biking?
Jeeps do things normal passenger vehicles dont and people creating a community of interest on that basis is valid.
-
If you call mountain biking a culture, I'll mock you for that too. Because it's a hobby, not a culture.
Something isn't a culture just because you and your friends want to base your identities around it.
-
I've not heard of Jeep culture, myself, so now I'm going to imagine a colony of asexually-reproducing microscopic Jeeps in a Petri dish.
Today, O Squid, you have broadened my imagination beyond yesterday.
-
I would have much greater interest in microscopic Jeeps that could reproduce. I probably wouldn't even mock them. Unless they were jerks.
-
Now you're just being pedantic. If you're while argument was based on the usage of the word "culture" i think you could have made that point more clear lol.
Obviously you were talking about the validity of assembling for the interest of the Jeep brand.
For a professional lemming your performance hasnt been stellar this morning.
-
Well as long as it's obvious to you, because it wasn't obvious to me.
