New Jeep CEO Named (Branden Coté)

[BourbonRunner]

Those were car guys. We got none of those left

I dunno, Kuniskis seems to be one of us or at least the public persona is as such.

Cote is from the sales side/retail/dealership and we all know car guys almost never work in sales notwithstanding the dearly departed Rob "Rabbit" Pitts.

From his public persona and resume he's more of a cross between Sergio Marchionne and John DeLorean- both were industry mavericks who relied heavily on directly marketing to their base to build excitement.

You know my love for Sergio Marchionne..... He's the reason why we got the EcoDiesel in the Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, and Jeep Gladiator! I trust Antonio Filosa’s plan to build the brands. I also think Tim Kuniskis is a key player. They all worked under Sergio.

Right, because we know based on your history you'd be throwing Mercedes diesels in everything.

On second thought, you should totally submit your resume.

Agreed. I would support @Jrgunn5150 as the Global Chief Diesel Marketing Officer for Stellantis. Afterall, he had a lot of seat time in his diesel and earned a high-ranking spot in the High Milage Club. Too bad the truck was totaled before making it into the 500,000 Mile Club.

Yup, same here. As you and I have often discussed, Sergio recognized the unique aspects of the USDM and the importance of the Jeep brand to both the American consumers and the enthusiasts. I'm hopeful that Filosa and Kuniskis can bring that back because Tavares damn near burned it all down.

He has my vote.

This now has me thinking that when my Pentastar goes tits up I should drop in an OM617A!

Y'all don't wish that evil on me!

I love my 3.5 day work weeks and skipping in the door at 8:45 and out at 3:45
