Maybe someone can find where the Renegade sales ended the year?

Not too shabby!
"Manley said the company sold 9,000 Renegades in Europe during the final two months of 2014."

What does anyone make of this headline: 2015 Jeep Renegade Not Coming Due To Slow Sales

Looks like a crappy opinion article:

and to think this is just before the renegade era, or at least before it's sales and numbers from it's sales start to show. With the way they're revamping their vehicles, seems as if growth like that will only be sustained for a long time to come.

In a recent market study, it was understood that many consumers are staying away from the Renegade due to its high running cost and impracticality.

First of all, which market study is this?

Second, is the Renegade impractical? Does it have high running costs?

That article is just the opinion of some guy and it doesn't seem to be researched too well.

Another garbage clickbait article. There is no truth or validity to the information in that article, COMPLETELY IGNORE IT!!!

Motoring crunch seems to be a click-bait site that has had reported inaccurate info about the renegade in the past. They have mis-reported things like available trim levels and available drive trains for the Renny.

I question the validity of the article.

Slow sales where? In the EU? It more than doubled the rate of the patriot and compass sales combined while being more tax advantaged. In the US? It's not for sale here yet. It's a made up article on a clickbait site.
