I didn't forget but just because you have been allowed to do something under license in the past it doesn't give you the right to copy someone else's design and sell it. They were sued over the Roxor...

You know what?
If someone thought this was a Jeep then they are welcome to it.
God help them if they come here with there "lift and Tyre size Questions!

This should be sold here!
We need cheep alternatives to the big name's to stimulate competition and hopefully lower some of the sky high pricing.

The price of Jeeps is ridiculous and has got worse with the exchange rate. I looked at the Thar and it looks nice as a fun offroader / run about. My issue is with the growing number of knock off's. It is not as obvious as as the Landwind x7 in China though.

? Didn’t they purchase the rights for old model Jeeps many years ago?

The Roxor is as close to a JL Wrangler as 40 years. Maybe FCA should sue Landrover, Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes, Suzuki, Troller, Gaz, Ford, Chev, IHC.... hold on, Suzuki had a compact 4x4 before the lot of them, before WW2!

No issues with the product.. like mentioned before competition is good and will make the all products better.. one reason i am happy that ford have brought out the bronco.. now FCA can work on reliability to keep their customer base..

Only issue i have is the blatant styling.. if all the others can style their own 4x4 why cant they?? Yes the had a licence to cj3 for decades but this looks like they mashed a tj/jk together..

But.. then can they?? Interesting when you look at the grenadier and its obvious styling clone of the old defenders.. Land Rover lost the copywrite claim on that one
