>9 speed automatic WHY!? FOR WHAT PURPOSE!?

>>15902897
muh m p g

because jeep is moving away from their target audience of offroaders and now making bloated luxury vehicles, a la Range Rover, to target at the upper middle class soccer moms so they don't have to worry about parking in a muddy field at little Scotty's game while they text their bull about evening plans.

9 is best number.

Whats the point of having so many gears its like a fucking lorry or even a tank
Are they trying to imitate low/high gears for offroading?

Tiny turbo engines have a somewhat small powerband. More gears help you stay in the powerband.

You misunderstand. GM and Chrysler weren't bailed out to keep auto workers employed. They were bailed out to keep repair shops open. As long as they keep churning out this overly-complicated, poorly made crap, technicians the world over will have a steady paycheck.This is just the latest measure to ensure that your local transmission shop stays in business.

This. They can get fucked for selling out, just like LR(or Ford?) did 10 years ago.

Sorry I forgot it was a 1.6 I4 turbo
Doesn't it have atleast a 3liter as smallest engine

You moron.

Local shops are literally protesting this 9-10-11 speed bullshit because they can't service them. You're basically forced to go to the dealer.

the chink eyes are not the headlights.
it's the ones underneat.

jesus fuck what the hell were they thinking with it's design

Somebody looked at this and thought it looked good

and whats worse, there's people out there who agree, and like the way it looks.

>>15902897
Funny thing is most owners claim they have never made it to the 9th speed unless on a very long downhill.

So the Jeep Wrangler can stay the same as its always been
