When the heck will they build the Gladiator?

This is a vehicle that has charisma. Fiat/Chrysler/Jeep? Can you hear me?

Build the Gladiator.


Larry's Comment: Paul, I'm with you...as are many others.

The reality is that Jeep, under the auspices of Fiat, has not even hinted at possibly building the Gladiator Pickup anytime soon.

It appears that with Chrysler now being mired with bankruptcy recovery, U.S. Government control and a foreign company (Fiat) taking the reigns..the right hand doesn't quite know what the left hand is doing.

My concern is that Fiat will try to appease the Jeep crowd by putting out an inferior European designed pickup model, and sticking the honored title of "Jeep" on it...kind of like what Chrysler did with the Compass and Patriot SUV models.

I believe that just as we have to hold our elected officials accountable, so do we consumers have to do the same with the automotive execs.

Go to top automotive blog sites and websites...then comment on what you as a potential customer want...or don't want.

With enough feedback from their "bread and butter" (we the consumer) they will eventually have to listen...and act accordingly.
