GM to dump Holden

[ElwoodBlues1]

That’s not what my Jeep buddies say; they’re queuing up to test drive the JL Wrangler    All JLs sold in Australia will have AEB, the absence of which was one of the main reasons for the 1 star NCAP rating and the chassis and integrated roll cage makes them a very safe car if you are involved in a collision.

I didn’t really have any issues with Jeep dealers and FCA, after some poor publicity, is actually engaging with Jeep owners.  However, like many 4WDs, trying to squeeze more power out of small diesels leads to reliability problems, particularly when you’re driving in remote areas.  The JL diesel is 2.2l, my JK had a 2.8l diesel.  Cost cutting is also a major problem with vulnerable wiring looms and suspension and drivetrain components that don’t last as long as they should.

New Wrangler Failed Euro Ncap 64kmh crash test into a barrier, driver and front passenger survival marginal....thats disgraceful....N Pillar connection failed with transfascia beam, stairwell structurally failed at 50kmh...
AEB is being used to bump up the Ncap rating.........they didnt even bother with the 32kmh side crash pole test because its such a deathtrap.
Its structural performance in crashing is 50%.......you wouldnt put roadkill in a wrangler....
