Reminds me of when AMF bought Harley Davidson back in the mid70’s
(AMF made bowling equipment)
No body wanted the AMF built bikes- lots of problems- and the real dyed in the wool Harley guys said “Adios Mother Fuc*er” to the new bikes. Took HD many years to recover and get their quality and reputation back. Just like older jeeps - older Harley’s are worth gold. Most Fiat built Chrysler products put on more miles on the back of a tow truck than they do on the road. New Jeeps are everywhere here in Arizona, and I do mean EVERYWHERE!! However it’s due to their marketing and advertising expertise rather than their reputation for dependable reliable performance.
Having said that you’ve gotta admit they make some good looking stuff. Millennials that want to look cool are buying the *hit out of them.
