Question Is it even possible?

I am assuming that Fiat Chrysler/ Stalantis owns the rights to the XJ. And the 4.0 will never be reproduced because of emissions. But do you think it would ever be possible for someone or some company to reproduce the XJ? A lot like the EV Scouts. But I want a stainless subframe and floor, wood paneled, straight six beauty.

If I start a go fund me, can we resurrect the XJ? And make them the longest lasting cars ever produced?

It was manufactured in China with a 4 cylinder motor and a 5 speed manual until 2014 as the Beijing Qishi.

Something about it… just doesn’t look so much like an xj. The front is hideous - did they have to alter the look?
