v8bubba:
looks like the bloke who designed the new freeloaderder disco now works for jeep i think he needs to be sacked for all of his efforts

Bishops Finger:
Like the Commander 8)

thebluebus:
Problem with that Patriot is it's too short - unless everyone in those pics is gigantic  :shock:

My KJ is taller than me, and that's only just a proper jeep  8)

CaptainColourful:
The Patriot and the Compass are both from the mickey mouse world of a designer's vision of what we in the UK require to combat the anti V8 gas guzzling 4x4 brigade.... it's an alternative to the 3.0 litre oil burner they seem to have adopted for the full sized proper Jeeps.

I asked why they didn't simply keep V8s and convert it to LPG ... in fact any petrol engines could be changed to dual fuel at very little cost straight from the factory.... seems they aren't interested, and their excuse is to waffle about different markets demanding different engine emmisions etc.
 

Personally I won't be buying any new cars in the foreseeable, but the techie guy I was speaking to admitted LPG was the way to go especially om a vehicle that was out of factory warranty...  ( "errr don't quote me" he said  ... ooops ! )

IMHO I reckon the oil companies and the govt. wouldn't like them moving away from what they do now...
Cynical ? Me ?
Yes !

CaptainColourful:
I just noticed the back end of the Compass looks a little bit like the Renault in the background... One day all cars will be equal grasshopper !
