Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Jeep has sold over 150,000 of these YTD, so I wasn't aware this model had stopped winning over buyers.

  That's shocking it's selling in those numbers considering the reputation of reliability is in the gutter.

  While still a substantial amount of sales, that's a drop of about 12% in a segment that's posting 10-50% growth, and it may barely crest 200k sales this year. It's also requiring serious cash on the hood to move metal, with the average incentive on the hood about $8k.

  "While still a substantial amount of sales, that's a drop of about 12% in a segment that's posting 10-50% growth"
  Another lie.
  They are down 4% from last year (154,221 vs 160,939). Using the first 9 months as a guide, they are on track to sell over 205K this year.
  The Explorer is up almost 10% for the year but only because last year was so bad (160,929 vs 146,799).
  The Traverse is up a whopping 48.4%. Of course, when you add in the relevant context (a challenge for some), the numbers are not impressive at all. Total sales this year at 103K vs last year's 70K.
  The Grand Cherokee has an over 51K unit lead over the Traverse and is only down 6,700 units on the Explorer.

  @EBFlex - So it's actually down *more* - 16% over the WK2 model. Amazing how you miss the main takeaway when everyone here points out you don't know your stuff.

One day, an American manufacturer will drag their reliability out of the basement. Today, is not that day.
