What are your thoughts on the newly announced 2015 Jeep Renegade? There's a discussion on it here:

Regardless of what I think about it, I bet they're gonna sell a ton of them. I guess we'll see though.

Reminds me a bit of the Fiat Panda. :(

Since its not meant to be a serious offroader I love it. Beats the **** out of the Compass!

If they offer the diesel in the US it will be very hard for me to not pick one up for a daily and turn the XK into an offroad rig!

[BonesWK]

hate it - It definitely has that Fiat feel though

Is it meant to compete with the Honda Element/Kia Souls of the world?

Stupid

If jeep doesnt sell vehicles like these they cant sell wranglers and other gas guzzlers. You should be thankful lol.

True, I posted this on my FB page and I had a fellow jeeper say " Im cool with Jeep putting out this garbage as long as they don't mess up the Wrangler"

It looks like a freakin' fiat 500L with a jeep grill.

Dont like it but they will sell.. I hope they return an entry level solid axle like the Cherokee or get one vehicle besides the wrangler that has the Jeep heritage.

I want a grand wagoneer based on the ram 1500 platform (including the new diesel engine). ... give suburbans some competition!

you'd think they'd realize they could produce something to compete in the full size SUV class like the suburban and escalade, there aren't really many affordable options. Chrysler could do it, look what they did with the ram hemi express, it has all the desirable features in an affordable cost truck..

Its ugly. I dont like it at all. I agree with the FB posts....it looks just like a fiat.

^ what he said

[thance]

looks like a Scion........

Jeep is doomed is this is where Fiat is taking it..... although I would not have expected any different, unless they could invest in dollars only and not ideas.

Looks like a KIA

[Sal-XK]

Jeep is not doomed! They need vehicles like this one to sell and make money and also keep their MPG low enough for regulations. Vehicles like this are what give them room to make the Jeeps we like and want to mod. Look at the wrangler, if the only people who purchased wranglers where the off road community who modify and seriously off road they probably would of stopped selling it decades ago. These entry level capable off road vehicles like liberty and now the renegade keep the brand alive and put money in the kitty for the cool stuff. IMHO

Is "bug-eyed crapulence" considered ONE word? :rolleyes:

Nope it's not! Believe or not I do read just about every thread on here still. I'm just usually so late getting to them they are old topics by the time I read them.

It's always good to have you home, Sal. :D
