Not bad

What's that gonna cost, $65k?

 

Surely not... I don't know yet what all configurations will be available.

 

If it rides like a Wrangler I’ll pass.

 

Well its got the wrangler power trains so I'll pass, but hey more competition

 

I think it's awesome. I always loved the Brutes. But it's gonna be spendy for sure.

 

The ceo of fiat/jeep said they would purposely make it "intentionally expensive"

For those that have had Jeeps, this is pretty nice. Yes it will be costly to purchase this. I would buy it, lift it and wheel the hell out of it. I have to admit, my Jeep was a hell of a rig in the trail. Hopefully it will have a optional diesel engine.

 

"According to the sheet, it will be available with a 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6, and can be optioned with either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic."

 

What? Sorry, couldn't hear you over the 6mpgs

I personally love it, but I’ve always had a soft spot for jeeps. A Tacoma just offered me the utility I needed with the ability to play mostly like a Jeep. I have no doubt the pricing on this thing will be ridiculous, so it will probably continue to be Tacoma for me.

 

I love the idea, but honestly that thing looks a bit like a home-made project of some sort... some hard edges, some round edges, very plain sides, overly styled bumpers, and that soft-top that looks like a bad hair piece... Just too much going on there for my tastes.

 

Keep in mind the new jls (newest generation wrangler 2018 and up) have more bugs than the 3rd gen taco when it first rolled out. Jeep is even buying back jls from customers

 

1 you have to be able to afford a Jeep, 2 you have to be able to afford to fix it, 3 you have to still enjoy it when it breaks down.

 

That thing fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

 

So is the G wagon and people cream their panties over those.

 

It may be ugly but it is exactly what Jeep people have been asking for. Their customers asked and Jeep answered.
