I've revisited this thread several times... I'm trying to like this vehicle, I really am. But I'm kidding myself. If it were any other brand I'd have dismissed it on first glance.

I can't figure out what to make of it either. I'm not the target market but I guess I'd say the where the look of the 'standard' wrangler lands closer to classic, this thing comes across a bit like a bloated parody of a CJ ute. It like they've tried to out-Jeep themselves...

That seems to be a common thought with the ute.

I never liked the photos of the brute conversion however I passed one on the road a couple of weeks ago and liked it so much I nearly turned around to chase him down.

Suicide doors one side and tiny access hatch the other. Wonder what the thoughts behind that were? I am guessing something about not having it on the drivers side.

I don't like the 2.8ltr diesel. Unless it's a V6. Then sign me up!
