    Meh. You can truck-bed a TJ, the last of the real Jeeps, for dirt compared to this price.


    And you'll have an inline 6 in it!

    I love this, until I get to the price. That $50,000 converted to Canadian dollars is over $58,000, or almost enough to buy three basic Wranglers.

    Chrysler builds these things- they have an assembly plant, and all the tooling- yet Chrysler won't let the consumer order a complete one from their dealer network?


    Here is a product that they don't even really need to market. Dealers don't have to stock them. The military market justifies the product- all they need to do is list it as an option, and let the consumers who would want it demand it.


    Do they do that?


    Nope! Instead they allow an aftermarket company to allocate 120 of them, and then resell them with a fat mark up.


    Stupid


    And people wonder why they go bankrupt?

    Damn, that looks like a lot of fun! Too bad I'm about $49,993.27 short :(


    Of course, it doesn't fit into my usually tendency toward practical sport wagons and hatchbacks, but screw it, you only live once, and I *do* have a pretty muddy driveway in the spring.


    I wonder if my girlfriend would believe that excuse? I'm thinking.....no way.

    Wait, what? Compact Jeep pickup? Same idea as a Ranger but with a drop-top, so I don't need to treat it like we treat Murilee, stored in a shed in the back yard, only allowed out when we need to make use of its services?


    And like Murilee, it can also be enjoyed topless??

    4 Steps to getting the most replied to comment on Jalopnik:


    1) State that the reason we don't have this car is because of Obama and his socialistic, pseudo-earth-friendly policies.


    2) State that this is what Bush, Palin, and Cheny drive in the Alaska wildlife refuge.


    3) Claim that someone made a hybrid out of this that get 100 eMPG and that we are all sinners for wanting the V8 version.


    4) Claim that the people who drive this are retards, trying to compensate for their lack of, um, guns.


    Ready, GO!
