They still manufacture in the US, but I think most of the engineering work is no longer done by Mopar. The newer Jeeps are enlarged Fiat hatchbacks (because I will not call the Stelvio an SUV, it’s a hatch on stilts, get a damn Giulia if you’re looking at Alfas) that you can get with either the bigger, but old Chrysler Pentastar or the ancient Hemi… Or the tiny FCA four pot.
To be fair, the WK generation Grand Cherokee already had a lot of Mercedes engineering, but other than the NAG1 and the OM642, your engine and transmission options were still Mopar engineered. The switchgear in the cabin was all Mopar in the WK. WK2 took that platform and slowly added Fiat touches (some of them good, like the upgrade to the 8HP transmission), but WL seems to be all Fiat.
I mean, is Stellantis really American? Genuine question, as my understanding is that their ownership is primarily French/Italian.
It’s… complicated.

Well, the cars are originally American.
By what definition? I don’t think a Chrysler has been manufactured in America since 2016.
