    I think that the modern jeep gladiator looks half assed, like they chopped a wrangler and added a bed.

    Real Jeep Gladator.

    Yeah but that Pro.

    I think the Gladiator is ugly minus modification but I like the concept. I like the look of a 2dr Wrangler.

    Yeah it just looks boxy and disproportionate. And looks like it would drive (on the road anyway) the same way.

    I agree the 2-door wranglers have a great look. I think the gladiator would look a ton better as a 2-door.

    The two door looks so much better IMO. Too bad it's a concept still and will never be a reality...

    It ain't so bad. I kinda dig it. But I also come from the time of Jeep pickups. So maybe I have a predisposition to liking it.

    That price tag though. Oof. o_O
