They were back to 600 something sales last month with Prado doing 2,792 units

Maybe it's to do with Jeep having had too many changes of ownership & management, new managements come in usually full of promises but seem focused only on marketing, not improvement. You'd think they'd wake up that marketing alone isn't cutting it given the sales numbers. Local FC management don't appear to have much influence, certainly no regional autonomy, seems all they can do is follow whatever H/O decrees.
Toyota on the other hand has never changed, they are still the same corp they've always been, although IMO their offerings are less desirable than Jeep and still they have problems, but maybe fewer? Anyway, they sell!
