This looks like a Luigi level threat

There's exactly zero chance I'd buy a car that showed me ads.

There was already zero chance I'd buy a Stellantis vehicle anyway after buying a brand new 1999 Dodge Durango that started rusting out sitting on our garage.

And while they did the bare minimum to remove the rust, but they didnt stand behind it. There was no way we were keeping it or buying anything else from them.

Jeep is a Stellantis product. Literally the worst quality auto manufacturer in North America. They are circling the drain and jacking up the prices on their vehicles and making Pikachu faces when they don't sell. Their only customers are people who don't know how to research their purchases, and putting advertisement hell into their cars is another example of that. I suspect they will not be in business a decade from now.

Jeep Renegade is a rebadged Fiat 500L.

Absolutely fucking not.

Though it does sound like a good kicker for the after market systems to make a comeback.

Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram,

Not just a Jeep thing. at least not for long.

A friend of mine bought a Jeep last year and it looked cool so we were thinking if this would be something for us as a next car.

But sadly I'm allergic to advertisement, so I guess a Jeep is out of question until they rethink it.

They have parts that you have to replace right away so you don't get stuck too. There are definite drawbacks.

I'ma turn into chief clappahoe if some bullshit like that shows up in my horse & carriage

There are plenty of better vehicles that aren't outrageously expensive just because they can be.
