2015 Jeep Renegade

It is built on fiat platform. Fiat has owned part of Chrysler since 09. They have slowly increased its ownership share. As of January it owns 100 percent if Chrysler.
 
Ok..... After seeing more pics of this thing I will have to say it's not as ugly as the Chinese Cherokee but it's still ugly. I know jeeps have to appeal to the masses to stay alive, but take the crayon from the kid! There are tons of people who are begging for the prototypes (Gladiator, Grand Wagoneer, M715 concept, FC concept) that could easily be built and keep some pride in the Jeep lineup. Both the Gladiator and FC are on JK chassis. I know if they built the FC I'd be at the dealership asap.... putting in my order....


I will also say I like that Fiat is pushing to have more diesel options

also "The rear axle of 4x4 models disconnects when not needed to save fuel, and the Renegade also comes with a power take-off unit – we expect a full complement of Mopar lawnmowers, log-splitters and manure spreaders by next year's Detroit auto show."

I am sure that is a total mis-print. With all these new "4x4s" basically set up as 2wds with a rear axle, the standard convention is that the FWD transmission has a Power Take Off to send power to the rear axle assembly.
