#1 of 188 Will they make one of the Jeep concepts soon? by squiredogs Jan 10, 2002 (6:15 pm)
I know Jeep is slow to change things, but I'd really love to get a hybrid Jeep (wagon, hatch) made from the Liberty engine. Preferrably with the Jeep grille, fold flat rear seats, giant wheels, fat tires, 4WD, and a liftglass for long stuff. Basically a modern update of the AMC Eagle. Nothing really is out there now that's not an overly tall, true SUV. The Compass looks cool, although I'd like 4 doors. The Varsity doesn't look quite as good as the Compass. Any Jeep loyalists know if this can happen soon? I can't hold out much more before I have to buy...   Dan
#2 of 188 As far as I know... by vin_weasel Jan 11, 2002 (9:43 am)
It's just a concept car. I like the look of it but some of the things inside bother me like a 4 wheel independent suspension and those narrow little tires. A supercharged 4-cyl is pretty cool.

.....and then someone can start a "Jeep Compass Problems" thread!

#6 of 188 My understanding is... by rsholland Jan 11, 2002 (7:45 pm)
that the Compass rides on a Liberty platform. That means no IRS. It also has the the 3.7 V-6 engine. However, unlike the Liberty, it has AWD and no low range.   I like it a lot, but I do wish it did have IRS. The inspiration for this vehicle is those "Rally Cars," like the Subie WRX, that are raced internationally. All of them have fully independent suspensions.   Bob
#7 of 188 4hi/low would be better by squiredogs Jan 12, 2002 (3:45 am)
I was hoping it would have the same Selec-Trac AWD along with the 4hi/low too. Even so, I still like the idea of a Jeep hatchback. Since I'm looking to buy this year, I guess it won't happen. Does Jeep ever project when these concepts could go into production? It seems like D/C want to be the first to bring out new, edgy stuff (PT, Pacifica).
#8 of 188 I know... by rsholland Jan 12, 2002 (7:48 am)
they would like to bring out a vehicle priced under the Wrangler. Jeep has publicly stated that. What form it takes? Who knows...   Bob

I don't know how or where I came up with the IRS thing but the supercharged four idea is actually from the Willys2 concept: http://www.jeepin.com/news/willys2.html
#10 of 188 Willys2 by tiredofmanual Jan 13, 2002 (1:55 pm)
That thing is awesome. I wish Jeep would produce it, though with a carbon fiber body it can't be very cheap. Maybe change the body to aluminum and toss in a slightly larger engine (keep the supercharger for the low-end torque) and I would find a way to buy one, as long as they offered it in a better color. Olive drab might work.
