Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?

Just another marketing ploy to separate the gullible from more of their cash, while stoking their egos.

Let’s see now, hi-fi in a noisy, piece of crap, gas guzzling vehicle. Yep the marketing plan seems as well thought out as everything else about the Jeep.

When the hoopla dies down with the big blue meters, I hear Jeeps going to use Faberge eggs for the shift handles.

My experience so far with "boutique" car audio is that they tend to be far from neutral. They have to justify the sound quality somehow and neutral, transparent and music you can listen to for hours isn’t high on the list of qualities they pay attention to.

In my current Toyota, the JBL sound system is great, what it needs is a quieter cabin, not a better stereo.  Oh, there I go pushing room treatments again. 😁

I used to be an exploration geologist and because of some logistics problem ended up renting a Wagoneer. I was in Northern Nevada, where the towns are over 100 miles apart. The gas tank was so small that I couldn’t get off road because I would not have enough gas. The clearance was terrible and suspension only good for the city. The last time I ever drove one. My luxury 4Runner can run circles around one. I’m pretty sure the explorer version of the 4Runner can walk over any Jeep.
