Almost 7000 units. I watch this because it's funny how Fiat is going to handle 24/7 production at Belvidere. Better leave it alone Sergio

Well, good and bad, good for the Patriot, bad for those of us trying to trade for a new one.

I always thought it was weird how the Liberty sales shot up so much the last year or two of the model run, and it looks like the Pat is doing the same.

I really hope it gets replaced with another model worthy of keeping the Patriot name in the brand.

I think a reason is more people are shopping for new cars now that we are doing better economically. Also, people want a vehicle thats good on gas as well as being able to haul.

One webbie mentioned the idea that Compass gets all the ad love and Patriot gets virtually no ad time. And still the Patriot keeps increasing in sales. I know I wanted a Patriot but actually did no research and was also not sure of the little Jeep's name. But I knew they existed. I know there are nicer cuvs out there but I need a Vehicle that can go in the woods and feel at home. I am surrounded by woods.

When I first got mine, it was rare to see another, but now I see them everywhere.

I was at work on USAA's website looking at cars and I knew I wanted a SUV. They had the Patriot marked as a preferred vehicle. That's how i learned of the Patriot. 3 years after they started making them.
