ya know.....im still not sold on how it looks. it looks too close to that chubby fiat 500 that failed to sell here.
but then again i hated the cherokee when it first came out, now i'll :nutz:

from the trailhawk all day

And when they high center on a pebble, I'll still be bashing it like I have been.

Sweet Nissan Cube, Fiat.

Yaj Yak · Oct 30, 2014

except a cube couldn't have even made it there... or a soul... or a chevy traverse for that matter. for the money in a new vehicle for something that is halfway somewhat kinda sorta capable this cannot be beat.

Killer articulation? All I saw was the lack thereof.

They also sped up the vid to make it look they it didn't take them all day to go a few feet.

Cliffs=junk

looks like it offroads better than anything you's gots.

OH NO HE DIDN'T

OH YES HE DID

Bob Kazamakis · Oct 30, 2014

that looked weak as shit.

Articulation? Why were the wheels off the ground so much off those tiny bumps?

Yaj Yak · Oct 30, 2014

at least it has some sort of locker/somethingtostopwheelsfromspinning...

Yaj Yak · Oct 30, 2014

ps but seriously. in this segment- if you aren't an enthusiast... what would would you be buying instead in the form of a brand new vehicle that is 20k ?

You've got vehicles like the Kia Soul, the Mini Countryman, you've got vehicles like the Nissan Juke. Those can give you fuel efficiency, but not really what you'd call capability.

In terms of fuel efficiency, interior space, comfort and those things, we've got to go right up against those cars and beat them.

We also looked at the Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Range Rover Evoque and VW Tiguan but again, those vehicles are not really significant in terms of their off-road capabilities. So, we looked at other Jeeps.

What we do is try to position each of our Jeeps both subjectively in the segment and then objectively, with very digital scores in terms of trail rating capability. The Renegade is designed to be solidly a 4 trail rating. Cherokee is a 6, Wrangler is a 10 and the Grand Cherokee is right around an 8.

That doesn't mean they're against 4 trails, but more an internal capability metric that defines what that capability is.

If you look at the segment, I would say a Juke probably wouldn't even get a 2 trail rating. A Hyundai Tucson? Maybe a 1.5. A Ford Escape? Maybe a 3 or maybe not.

I wouldn't have you take the Renegade down the Rubicon — that's not where this vehicle is focused — but it will do many parts of Moab and it will do very well in mud, snow and sand; those kinds of normal off-road events normal customers experience.IW: How do you see customers using the Renegade?

PJ: People that buy Jeeps off-road a lot in their mind. They're going to buy this vehicle based on the needs of their lifestyle but, when they're in situations like mud, deep water and deep snow they fully expect to be able to get out of those conditions safely.

The kind of customers who drives a Jeep wants to have confidence that their system can always put torque to the tire that can get you traction, that's designed to take the absue of potholes or logs on the trail or just handle a bad situation and get them out of trouble.

Maybe just getting you to a back cabin after a foot of snow or getting up a muddy road after a bad rain or getting through a flooded parking lot or over a curb. We're making sure customers feel confidence the Renegade will do that.

Anything can go up slick rock and I didn't see anything even remotely difficult. I bet any shit little suv could go over what they drove that over.

Yaj Yak · Oct 30, 2014

In before these things sell like fucking hot cakes.

ktraver97ss · Oct 30, 2014

I dont know, you are swinging from this pretty hard, or just doing it to rustle the jimmies.

Yaj Yak · Oct 30, 2014

So, they said the LR Evoque is not significant off-road...wrong. I mean its surely not in the same class, but Id think it would destroy this Jeep abortion offroad.

They said it, not me. Id take a Forester, Evoque, or Tiguan over the Renegade.

Bob Kazamakis · Oct 30, 2014

Here's a RAV4 at moab. Seems fine on hells revenge

that's not the same class- they were strictly talking offroad capability there- which i agree with you they downplay the other vehicles significantly.

i said this class (meaning size, price features)

what would you buy? a kia soul? a cube? a juke?
