First Look at the 2015 Jeep Renegade - Yea or Nay?

Looks a lil better like this.


It looks pretty good like that. I saw that post too this morning. Here's the thing, was this supposed to be a wrangler replacement? Is this the next wrangler? Should jeep just make 6 models of the same vehicle? If you answered NO to those questions then you should understand why they built this. There is a demand for a small cuv in the segment that this will be in. Jeep wants to expand GLOBALLY and more into Europe and Asia. They can't sell 6 of the same thing, and not everyone wants a wrangler. Now is this thing for the hardcore off-road crowd, probably not, but if you have seen the press photos and the interior you can see that this thing exudes the brand in the style and accents that were added. I mean it looks better then the compass and the new Cherokee, and this team seemed to get what they were designing.

At first I was like is this guy serious? A replacement for the Wrangler?! Then I read more and started tracking. Well said and I agree 100% with you.

Lmfao this forum (along with all other Wrangler forums) would instantly flip the switch and be known as the WAY TA KILL JEEP FIAT! Lol not as catchy as WAYALIFE is :cheesy:

The grill seems to have taken some inspiration from the Mighty FC.... at least the black part in this pic. Wonder if that's going to be a trend *Cough* Next Wrangler? *Cough*

by the way, has anyone ever seen this pic? I know there were questions about taking the roof off, and well yeah it looks like you can.

^ that thing is friggin sick with the top and doors off! And yeah I thought that too. I hope the next Wrangler looks good still. If they ruin it with some ridiculous plastic shit (more than it already unecessarily has) I'd be more than upset.
 
It's interesting to think that it originated with this. The more I look at it, the more I realize it's not too far from that now either.
