Jeep said the Wagoneer S will arrive at dealerships this fall with a starting price of $71,995. However, that may not be the case.

Filosa said the electric Wagoneer is almost ready, but if its quality is not up to par, it may not launch on time. Speaking with Automotive News, Filosa made clear, “No launch if the quality isn’t perfect.”

As Jeep’s first electric SUV for North America, its most important market, the Wagoneer S, is crucial as it looks to revamp the brand.

This is just stupid expensive. They can just skip the release in my opinion.

I was a kid when Lee Iacocca took over, but all I remember is his name was EVERYWHERE. I didn't know who he was or what he did, but I knew his name. One of his big newsworthy things was taking the $1 salary, which to a young person sounded wild and revolutionary (I have no idea how new that idea was back then). And the minivan was definitely revolutionary. I can still remember my dad buying our first minivan (it was the Astro instead of the Caravan) and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. The Caravan was the trailblazer for the new style.
