#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).

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.
#11 of 188 while we're wishing by anonymous02 Jan 16, 2002 (10:20 am)
I'd like to see a comeback of the Scrambler.   Basically, make a lengthened Wrangler, add a small bed, and the only change from Wrangler othewise would be to put in the V6 so it can accomodate the overdrive auto tranny (for better gas mileage and lower cruising rpms).   Better yet, make the back part (bed) out of recycled plastic to reduce cost, reduce weight, and eliminate rust!!!
#12 of 188 Actually... by rsholland Jan 20, 2002 (2:02 pm)
I'd love to see Jeep do a 4-door "life-style" pickup off the new Liberty platform. Just put a small bed in the back like that of the Explorer Sport Trac or Subaru Baja. Also include a mid-gate, and lockable fender storage compartments as per the Chevy Avalanche.   Bob
