Dammit Jeep, what have you gone and done now?

Hmm. I'm just going to take this concept and put it up on the refrigerator, where everyone can see it. Since it's so great.

May be it doesn't look that great here, but on a white road in some island of the French West Indies, with a topless blonde on board waiting for you to go snorkeling, maybe...

You don't happen to work in marketing, right?

No... sometimes I just like to daydream.

That's the Jeep Renegade from 2008. Nothing new to get excited about.

Was this supposed to be a successor to the Wrangler or something new altogether or just "Hey, look what we can do!"?

It was part of their whole electric/hybrid ENVI program, with the Dodge ZEO and Chrysler ecoVoyager. Here's what Autoblog had to say:

"At the center of ENVI is a 200 kW (268 hp) electric motor with a 40 mile range that's powered by lithium ion batteries. The Renegade concept uses a pair of these — one on each axle to create a proper 4X4 — and adds a low gear mode, locking differentials, and a Bluetec diesel "range-extender" engine that gives it the equivalent of 110 mpg when combined with the electric motors. The little two-seater goes its own way, putting a modern spin on the Wrangler ethos that incorporates environmental sustainability into the overall equation without sacrificing the brand's off-road roots and identity."

I personally think there was some Halo Warthog influence going on as well.
