...“Let’s set the record straight: (click here) Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China,” Ranieri said. “It’s simply reviewing the opportunities to return Jeep output to China, for the world’s largest auto market. U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation.”...
Yes. Lost.
This is a Chinese Concept Jeep.
We've seen (click here) before how companies in China can take a radical conceptdesign never meant for mass production, modify it a bit and offer it for sale. The latest evidence of such activity can be seen in the Jeepzter. Ostensibly a replica of the Jeep Hurricane concept from 2005, the Chinese replica does away with the dual 5.7L HEMI V8 engines for a single 650cc unit. That lone powerplant sits up front and powers the rear wheels, not all four like the concept. Of course, it goes without saying that the ridiculous turning ratio of the Hurricane has been lost in transformation, as well.
It has always been my contention that outsourcing from the USA was never a necessity so much as building the culture of consumerism within China and India or any other developing country such as Iraq.
When Jeep Corporation states it is investing in China, it is doing what it should be doing as a 'smart' corporation with recognition of its strong consumer base in the USA. It is not simply using Chinese labor as slave labor IN SERVICE to the USA consumer while impoverishing the American work force with low, subsistence wages. Not at all. Jeep is actually building consumer products 'in demand' in China.
I hope this is the new model of the Chinese government. Such a consumer base will help China secure its economy without RELYING on USA consumers to insure its economic outcomes. In other words, what happens in the USA with well paid workers and an increasingly strong consumer base can happen anywhere in the world. Why can't the Chinese build cars for the Chinese?
Where Mr. Romney FOLLIED today, was to make example of a company very different in philosophy, ethics, morality and profit margin than Bain Capital and its vulture capitalism.
JEEP doesn't hate USA labor, it embraces it while BUILDING NEW MARKETS for goods in countries such as China.
See, Mr. Romney never worried about preserving jobs in the USA. Today, he ASSUMED the CEO of Jeep would be shunning more investment in USA labor and find the 'cheap labor' in China more attractive, but, that isn't what occurred.
Jeep is building a consumer base in China while encouraging new products the Chinese like and want and having them build the product. The consumer base in China and the USA is safe from each other, when both populous are well employed and participating in their economies.
In all honesty, when Jeep's model is followed both economies are secure without any real need for competition except what occurs between manufacturers within the sovereign borders of each country. China and the USA does not have to compete for each other's markets when they each have their own WITHOUT outsourcing.
This is the concept car for the Jeep Wrangler.
Mr. Romney likes power. He likes to use it. Like he said, "Those people are not my responsibility." He was referring to those losing their jobs with plant closures in the USA. Mr. Romney is only correct in stating that for one reason. And that reason is if there is no need for employees anymore after the company was scavenged for plenty of money.
Romney ran a recking crew of a company NOT a venture capitalist firm seeking to start production of a product believed to be profitable with longevity to achieve and MAINTAIN market share. You know. Sorta like "Gerber" baby food. It is just always there. In most circles that management model embraces BRAND NAME RECOGNITION AND RELIABILITY.
Mr. Romney is not the person for the White House. He was lost on this one. He had absolutely no reference point to the 'idea' Jeep was investing in Chinese manufacturing that would have its consumer base in China, not the USA.
Romney only understands 'seek and destroy' capitalism, not long term investment with sustainable market share, stable income for the stockholders and well trusted products that serve the American family generation after generation. He has NO CLUE how to build an economy with jobs for Americans.
Romney's history is removing jobs from the American economy, not creating them.
I'm tired.
Good night.
Yes. Lost.

The 2008 Jeep® Renegade Concept is a sporty two-seater that is just as equipped to navigate a winding off-road trail as it is to turn heads on the auto show circuit . With its stand-alone, cut-down windshield and doors with their lower sections cut out, it's a minimalistic, eco-friendly approach to having maximum fun. Plus, it combines a lithium-ion battery pack with and a small-displacement BLUETEC diesel engine, which together help the Renegade achieve a fuel economy of more than 110 miles per gallon.
Outsourcing is NOT MANDATORY for every CEO that seeks to make higher dividends to stockholders. That is what Jeep is saying. It is not necessary to chose to build cars in China that Americans want. Both the Chinese markets and American markets can exist with their own cultural icons. They don't have to mix. There are European cars imported to the USA everyday, but, that doesn't mean manufacturing in Europe has to be outsourced to make that happen. Mr. Romney likes power. He likes to use it. Like he said, "Those people are not my responsibility." He was referring to those losing their jobs with plant closures in the USA. Mr. Romney is only correct in stating that for one reason.
