This is The Opposite Locker where we try and sort out the cool from the square. This is a discussion system detailing how cool a car is, not how fast, fun, or frivolous it may be, but how well it looks in the cat's pajamas.

New Kid On The Block

The Jeep Wrangler is the vehicle for the non enthusiast population, that is until they turn into automotive enthusiasts because of it. The removable doors and roof strip up a fascination with driving without having to break any laws. I would bet on the fact that more Wranglers have been off road than any other brand, make, model of anything ever.

The Big Question : Does the unrefined and unsophisticated Wrangler contribute to everyone's thoughts of you being 10 years old, or does the fact that the Wrangler carries a completely different ethos to a Corolla contribute to everyone's thoughts of you being 10 years old?

It only gets the Uncool vote from me because damn near every spoiled rich kid in my high school drove one, despite them having no need for its off-road capabilities. Oh well, at least the one I had a peek inside had a stick (which is actually quite common here, but still)!

Yup, for every three cars in my high school's parking lot one of them is a Wrangler. Definitely gets an Uncool vote.

Do they put bro truck rims on it too?

Thankfully no, they were all stock. I went to a rich kid high school, so they were significantly classier than that.

I was asking because a neighbour of mine has a 4-door Wrangler, some shade of dark green, with bro truck rims and off-road accessories. It's obviously a poseurmobile to hide his limp dick, because I've never seen it dirty.

Isn't that a CJ though?

I'd say that is true for at least 50% of modified Jeeps. I see them in NY all the time with pristine paint jobs.

true but I have to believe if he were alive , he'd have a wrangler . also , wouldn't this be the same as including the whole of 3 series bmws or s class mercs .

That kind of sidesteps the question. Thats a CJ-5, not a Wrangler. CJs are awesome, modern wranglers less so

It's not a Land Cruiser 70.
It's not a Land Rover Defender.

Like other posters commented, it's associated with high school. Even for me, coming from Europe, it seems to be the go-to car for US film/tv for a college/highschool scene.

Uncool. Even though there off-roaded a ton, every rich daddy's girl gets these in high school. I still like them, but most of the time they're uncool.

I have to give it an uncool vote here... I love that you can virtually always get a manual on every trim level, and some models are quite luxurious on the inside. That being said, spending $40,000 on a Jeep seems a bit extreme:

Kinja'd!!!

This is the Moab edition. Base price, $35,500... and some options, like the dual top, automatic tranny, locking rear axle, and navigation, and it'll run you $43,920! Right off the showroom floor! That is insane!

Also many people buy them for the look: no one uses them like they are meant to be used.

And used ones cost a lot of money, and like Sparf said, every kid in high school has one... in Florida, it is extremely popular; one in four cars is a Jeep...

I'm gonna have to say uncool. For every one person who actually takes a Wrangler offroad, there are dozens of suburban rich kids just cruising around town with their doors off.

This has to be broken up into two categories

1) clean in a mall parking lot.

2) Muddy
