2007 Jeep Patriot - looks great!

Would rather see LESS models and more focus on capability/strength.....Just don't like the odds of that happening

.............yer dreamin' Yumpet.

Add the fact they'll sell more in a month in the US than they will sell here all year, with volume margins etc, you'll be at least $10k - $15k short I reckon. If not more.

Ie Remember the Monaro sold here for around mid $60's plus onroads, in the US it sold for the equivalent of about $45k AUD, its main competitor in the US was the BMW M3. Which retails for around $130k here.

Nice thought though..............

so richo on that line of thinking the patriot would be up around 40k or more?!?!? where you can buy an xtrail for around the 30k mark, how is that competitive sales, they will have priced them selves out, i can see commander up about the 60-70k mark if its anymore they will have out done themselves inthe market they are looking to attract from, they would need to be atleast around the same price as the rivals they are looking to attract buyers away from, i love my jeeps and if i had to choose between an xtrail at 30 and a patriot at 40+ i would have to give some serious thought too where my money should go.
