I read someplace, from some auto review mag that Jeep will discontinue the Compass/Patriot after Fiat comes in next years as a major partner? Both models have finally built a fan following and the Compass was just revamped this year with a new front end that makes it look like a mini Grand Cherokee. I had a 2007 Compass and it was great for the price and it did everything asked of it. Hate to see Jeep defer to a foreign car maker to supply us with small SUVs. Anyone know about this? Next year? This is the problem with Chrysler, the spend millions to develop a model and then change their minds after many people purchase them.
