There isn't a shot of this thing with the back glass in. I wonder where that gets stored.

Ha, I can't see that thing offroad. Maybe 3N14.

[Old Fart]

Maybe 3N16

(I thought the 4 door Wrangler was Fugly - now I have a new definition)

I think you are looking to much into it. this is a concept car. Reality does not enter into the equation until some later point in the process of bringing the car to market.

You won't see many of 'em out crawling, but it might make a good vehicle to spend time in while exploring Baja....

I like it
but then I like a lot styling experiments. I doubt if it would ever be able to tackle some serious terrain, but then I doubt it will be aimed at it also.
But then, look at the Liberty and the FJC, they both are showing up places we never thought they would, sheesh both go over the Bull regularly now.
I think Jeep is just reaching out to have a more car look, the future of sales is going to depend on it, The Suv now has a bad name to the buying public. Not only have the Greenies pretty much destroyed it rep, but the gas mileage age is again apon us.
GM and Ford are in serious trouble financially right now because they refused to develop any thing big time except SUVs. Jeep is just probing to see what they can do to attract customers.
Look at Toyota, I mean look at the Rav4, tous jeepers it is a joke, but that thin sells in big numbers. they also have cross over vehicle in the lineup, and crossovers seem to be the next new trend. Suvs, out, Minivans, out, Sedans, have there place as steady sellers, trendy cars, make profit.
Say what you want, but support those ugly go nowhere sudo 4x4s, without those things selling like hotcakes do you think Chyrsler could have cut the price on the new JK? Yep we need those pigs.

I agree with you! Just based on this as a "car" & not a off-road vehicle...I actually really like it, especially it's the best concept "car" I've seen from DC. The Compas is just horrible. This at least looks decent and something that will rival the Rav4, Kia, etc.
