Jeep Grand Cherokee L Loses Its V8 Because Less Than 4 Percent Of Customers Wanted It

Yeah, but they had it for those 4%, and it wasn't like it was just in that vehicle. It was in all their vehicles. You look at the JGC crowd and you see they want luxury over speed, and that thing is super luxurious, especially at the price point. Now what was the Durango %? Probably not much more but that crowd would buy all of them in the V8 if they were not priced out.
So it wasn't like they made this special V8 for a V8 vehicle, it was a cookie cutter V8 that they put in everything, but the buyer of that particular vehicle did not care or did not want to spend the extra $ on it. But goes back to win a race on Sunday and sell a car on Monday mentality. And damn it worked.
Would the CT5-V exist with out the CT5? Would the CT4-V exist without the CT4? ZL1 without a V6 LT1?
This game has been played for decades and the electrification is making it harder. Is what it is
