What is going to be interesting is Mag reports- Jeeps no good; no room in the engine bay for dual batteries I will lay money this doesn't have room under the bonnet any more. Jeep has lousy roof load- so will this I bet, now it has curtain airbags. And what will the payload be???
All these things that the press has always counted the Jeep out for are now going to apply to the Cruiser...
So the only reason that they will like it will be sheer size, and the stupid cowboy hat thing on that ugly grille!!

We dont drive Jeeps because we want to arrive in style or comfort. (This too wuld be nice occaisionally )
We drive them because we enjoy driving, and seeing how messed up we can get.
We want fun, not monotonous generic mindless transport!
(Feel like a winston churchill type of rant 'We shall drive them on the Beaches . . "
Well, actually, I do drive a Jeep because I want to arrive safely and comfortably. I drive a Jeep (2.8CRD KJ) because I want a vehicle that will tow my camper trailer to obscure places and not feel like a truck as a daily driver.
But maybe you are one of those Wrangler owners who don't consider the KJ to be a REAL Jeep because of the IFS.

One of the guys at site does drive a white WJ and it stands out so much amongst the sea of tojo's, its a refreshing change to see it with its orange light going and dirt all over it in the name of work. Also has better economy than the others. I asked but the Plant manager is a devout Tojo owner so no go!
