We spend quite a bit of time in Europe. I’m surprised Jeep doesn’t have a bigger presence there. Probably the only vehicles we ever owned from the big 3 that were any good. Our grand Cherokee was a nice vehicle for it’s time.

Jeeps overseas are like Toyota and Nissan full size trucks in the US market. They don't sell well compared to the domestics for many reasons even though they may be better in some ways. Some of those reasons are loyalty to domestic brands, not being in the market as long, market constraints and so on. In the case of global midsize trucks in the US market, a vast majority of truck owners just don't want them because you are giving up a lot of space and capability for no real benefit in fuel economy or cost savings versus full size trucks.
