Bailed Out Chrysler To Move U.S. JEEP Production To Italy
'Obama's first new car was a Jeep.'
Clinton speaks too soon. Bill Clinton speaks in Youngstown, Ohio on Sunday, and attempts to deny the rumors that Jeep would be moving production overseas. Then yesterday Fiat-Chrysler CEO admitted the truth in the quarterly conference call. All About Saving Fiat. The Cerebrus-Chrysler bailout was a complete nightmare, and now we reap the rewards of Obama and Steven Rattner's stewardship all the way to Italy, and beyond. Read these two links for the full story: Fiat Will Outsource Chrysler Jeep – For $1 In Savings BOMBSHELL: Fiat Says Chrysler, Jeep Production Will Move To Italy This is an absolute, unmitigated outrage. Here's the new Romney Ad in question: http://dailybail.com/home/to-save-1-...uction-to.html |

Jeep earned its name rolling all over Italy and now it returns to be retired.
I’d say the only thing more poetic would be if Japan started making a cheap copy but Mitsubishi actually did that for 45 years.

This is so horribly untrue that it actually got the companies themselves to dispute the ads. It is old ass news and you are ignorant sheep.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-34222_16...o-industry-ad/ I do find it hilarious that in questioning the integrity of one, you shed light on the lies of the other. (accidently of course) |

Quick trivia: without Googling it anyone know where Jeep got its name? Hint: it was never called the “General Purpose” anything and the letters G and P mean things in the military nomenclature that have nothing to do with a Jeep.

Obama should invest in FIAT. They would be broke inside of 2 years.

How Did Jeep Get Its Name It is a popular belief that the name ‘jeep’ was derived from the abbreviation of the term G.P., which stood for ‘General Purpose vehicle’. According to historical records, the term G.P. stood for automaker Ford’s nomenclature according to which, ‘G’ meant a vehicle for government’s use and ‘P’ was used to designate its 80-inch wheelbase. In 1949, the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors, a manufacturer of railroad locomotives, launched its "General Purpose" line of automobiles, which were later named as ‘geeps’ and pronounced as ‘jeep’. According to some historians, the word “jeep” was used in Oklahoma, in the 1930’s, to describe specialized trucks that were used in oil drilling. Many people say that history of jeep dates back to the period of World War I, when mechanics in the garages used this term to refer to any new motor vehicle received for a test. Another clarification for the word ‘jeep’ is that it was based on a character named ‘Eugene the Jeep’, which featured in the popular ‘Popeye’ comic strip in the 1930’s. The cartoon character gained instant recognition and became a sensation among the ardent Popeye fans. The word "Jeep" had been also used in reference to a small tractor, manufactured by Moline.
