I really like it! A little turbo diesel and skinny A/Ts would do it wonders.

I like it. I'd totally consider one, since we won't ever get the 4x4 Panda.

I think jeep should make a rally car version and enter it in GRC

If they don't offer a turbodiesel in this thing, it will be such a wasted opportunity.

I love the looks, round headlights are the best headlights.

I don't hate it. Which is weird because I totally expected to. I will reserve final judgement until we see more of it but it looks promising.

That's part of the reason I like it, too!

I really like it. It could be to the Wrangler as the Juke is to any of Nissan's sports cars.

Can't wait to see more of it!

Possibly the only thing that could unnerve me is the Mobility Van-esque seating/window position.

I like it! Hopefully they'll make a manual/AWD model.

And if it costs about $16000

Have you seen it in person? I've seen one a new Trailhawk and I actually kind of liked it.

For comparison

No I haven't, no too many car shows in Northern Canada. Might cruise by the auto mall as they call it and look around for something similar.

EDIT: Never mind, it snowed a foot, everything will look white.

03/02/2014 at 19:09

Oh man, that'd be the perfect price point. I hope the Renegade "Trailhawk" caps at $27k, all options checked.

I know the kid who cleans the cars off at the Chevy dealership, he has been working 8 hours straight!

Well I love it . Round headlights on a modern car are something worth applauding. It's the cutest Jeep ever.

I will be incredibly upset if this is not a possible combination.

But now I can't unsee that!!! Why would you do that to me!

Fred (FreddsterExprs) > TillTheWheelsFallOff: Brocoma

I really like it. I wonder if it comes to Europe, it would be perfect here - small SUVs sell like cut bread over the pond.

I hope he's getting more than the minimum wage he's paid.

Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif > TillTheWheelsFallOff: Brocoma

He gets about 14 an hour I think, he also works in the shop as a tire changer.

Ditch the Subaru Crosstrek-ish wheels, and then we'll talk.

Hooker > TillTheWheelsFallOff: Brocoma
03/02/2014 at 19:23

Haha. It's OK. Just hope it's better than that. I'm hoping it's more Buick Encore with some off road bits and more power than a Fiat 500L with more brutish lines.

TillTheWheelsFallOff: Brocoma > Hooker
03/02/2014 at 19:25

I'm trying to pitch this to my brother, so I hope it looks great too, haha.

I think the 1.6 from the 500L will probably be in the base model, but I think using the 2.4 from the dart would be smart too. Oh speculation, you devil you.

Im totally for it. Looks funky, based on well loved bones, should have loads of character. I think it would be tons of fun to see how far off road you could get it? and when it gets stuck just call an atv to pull you out. come to think of it, I wonder how wide it is....there are lots of trails near me that aren't that hard but limited in width that excludes my cruiser.

One of the writers for Overland Journal owns a Patriot and he had the same zeal of driving a vehicle of this size. It's a bit long of a read, but you can read it here .

Personally, I can't imagine it being wider than a Tiguan.

I definitely know the feeling of feeling too wide (and long!). Was on a trail last year and hit a tree cause I couldn't fit around a hairpin.
