New Popemobile is a Jeep!

Posted on August 21, 2015 by baysideadmin

The Jeep sure seems to be popular of late. So popular that even the Pope is going to be driven around in one. It certainly makes the idea of a Pope-mobile more enticing.

It is the first time that Pope Francis has come to America and what better way to travel than in one of America’s most popular vehicles. The Jeep that he will be using as his new Popemobile is a Wrangler. It seems that the new Pope is a fan of the Wrangler as he also used a four-door during his trip to Ecuador a few months ago.

It is an odd thing to see an American vehicle get so much press for simply being used to carry the Pope as he visits various cities, but I think it speaks volumes that during his time here that he is using vehicles from that country. It definitely at least makes his ride nicer and more stylish, a far cry from the old bubble Popemobile. Maybe he plans to take it off-road in his downtime.

I wonder if he’d be interested in a Charger or Challenger Hellcat for his next Popemobile.

Jeep Leads August Sales

Cherokee Ad Causes Controversey

Americans are having a love affair with Jeep. Car buyers have been flocking to the brand in the recent years since the Chrysler brand has resurged after its crash years ago. The reason for the uptick of Chrysler sales month over month of late has been because of this love for Jeep. That record continues into August where Jeep had one of their best months ever.

The stars of the month for Jeep was the already very popular Wrangler. The Wrangler has always been one of Jeep’s bigger vehicles and it seems to be joined by the Cherokee. The Cherokee at first seemed to be the underdog of the Jeep family. When it was first revealed how the look was, many balked at the changes happening to Jeep. As time went on and the Jeep had time to prove its worth, it showed that looks on a Jeep is only skin deep. The public has spoken and it seems the Cherokee is the new darling of the brand.

The Cherokee is one of the most award SUVs in today’s markets. It was named by Kelley Blue Book as one of the best SUVs under $25,000 and Motor Week’s ‘Best Small Utility.”

Jeep Sets June Sales Record: More Popular Than Ever!

Posted on July 6, 2015 by baysideadmin

One of the most remarkable success stories in the auto industry of late is the rise of the Jeep. Back when Chrysler was facing bankruptcy and its future was uncertain, nothing seemed further from thought than the idea that they’d be able to turn it around in the upcoming years. Since recovering, the success story of Chrysler is a fascinating one, and one of the main reasons for that bounce-back is due to a new found fever for Jeeps.

CheatSheet.com examined this new wave of love for Jeep. June was an amazing month for the Jeep brand. It had the best June sales ever. Many Jeep vehicles had record-setting months including the new Jeep Cherokee and the ever-popular Jeep Wrangler. Even the newest member of the family, the Jeep Renegade, had an increase of 10% from May.

This is an incredible feat considering that Jeep, back when the company was going under, was struggling with American sales. Now, it’s not just selling here in the States, but has caught on overseas. Jeep recently invested in a new plant for production in India, showing that Jeep is one of the bigger international favorites.

The future seems even brighter. The Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat experienced a higher than expected sales demand and Jeep is looking to capitalize on the popularity of the Hellcat name. A Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Hellcat is expected next year. This new SUV has potential to put some change into the market and have competitors scared.

What is it you’d like to see from Jeep in the coming years? What do you think they need to do to keep the momentum going?
