Stellantis recalling over 354,000 Jeeps worldwide; rear coil springs can detach while they're moving

5. I once had a 1982 CJ7 that I loved.

It had a straight six, five speed manual, and got between 25-35 mpg on the hwy (depending on the wind because it was like driving a box).

That was when Jeeps were manufactured by American Motors. Chrysler/Stellantis, who acquired them in 1987, ruined the gas mileage, underpowered them, and jacked up the price to levels that would offend the Willys inventor.

We often have a hankering for those old CJ7 days and will stop in the Jeep lot to see if anything inspires that. Been uninspiring since 1990.
