robert j. yates said:Agreed....the possibilities are interesting as is the history.
Given that a former axis power was running Jeep ....from some Jeepers perspective its thought that crap like the Compass and Patriot were instilled by Mercedes soley as a means to get revenge on the Jeep :jump:

As far as I am concerned, if Patriots help fund Rubicons, than I am all for them
overlander said:You might recall that Rover was owned by BMW in 1996 (or thereabouts). Strangely enough, it lasted long enough for BMW to come out with their SUV, then they sold Rover...coincidence or strategy? You decide.
Andrew Walcker said:The BMW days ruled!!! I think BMW took over in 94 (sold in late 90s?)because I remember Bosch electronics showing up in 95s and younger. I have a picture somewhere of a South African Defender 110 with a diesel BMW engine under the bonnet, pure love!!!
