Replying to: gljvd (Apr 15, 2006 12:40 am) whats up with the diesel not being avalible in the usa ? -----------------------------------   If the Patriot was offered with a diesel, say 150hp and 250lbs torque and got 35mpg hiway; it might be my perfect vehicle.

#36 of 97 Edmunds Reviews heading downhill??? by ergo Apr 15, 2006 (9:47 pm)
Well after reading Edmund's review, I can't help but wonder if they even drove it. It doesn't sound like it. Judgement from the autoshow floor?   So, they pick on Jeep's for being trucky and now that they make a road going friendly smaller one, they pick on it for NOT being a truck?   Maybe we can get more info on what the vehicles ARE vs. someone telling us what pre-conceived notions they are NOT. Hey, it'd be a step in the right direction!

Replying to: twain (Apr 15, 2006 9:27 pm) Same . I love my 94 jeep cherokee but sadly its on its last legs and with gass inching up to 3$ a diesel would be awosome . 35mpg highway would save me alot of money a year . Next sunday I'm heading to the show myself , I really wish this was avalible in the summer though.

I was looking to purchase a compass around fall because I knew it was going into production and I stumbled across the patriot; but I am still confused. Is this a concept or is this also going into production? When is it coming out? Replies to this message: shado4 (Apr 16, 2006 6:00 am)

Replying to: werm9 (Apr 16, 2006 5:53 am) The Patriot is going into production and will be available this fall. Go to Jeep Patriot for all the details.

Replying to: twain (Apr 15, 2006 9:27 pm) The Patriot looks like the right size for me, however if they don’t put a diesel in it, it’s of no value. And if they do put a diesel in it, it will probably be a 4X4 option only. No sale.   What is the “World Engine”?

Replying to: jkinzel (Apr 16, 2006 7:48 pm) A diesel will be sold in other markets.   Bob Replies to this message: gljvd (Apr 17, 2006 7:21 pm) jkinzel (Apr 17, 2006 8:36 pm)
#42 of 97 World Engine by claudius753 Apr 17, 2006 (10:14 am)
The world engine is not an engine but rather a group of engines. Daimler Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai created a spin-off company that would design a new family of 4 cylinder engines, and produce them but only for sale to the 3 companies. This new company is called GEMA or Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance.   They ended up with a 1.8, 2.0, and 2.4 liter engine, that each company can alter a bit to better distinguish the attributes they want in the engine, such as VVT tuning. The Dodge Caliber makes use of all 3 engines, while the Patriot is using only the 2.4. The 1.8 that Dodge uses creates an impressive 148 horsepower.

Replying to: rsholland (Apr 17, 2006 4:46 am) yea that doesn't help me here with gas at 3$ a gallon and rising though.   Would love to have seen a diesel engine for this here in the states and with the changes next year to diesel they should be putting rushing ot put out diesel here. It would sell like mad

Replying to: rsholland (Apr 17, 2006 4:46 am) Thnaks Bob and claudius753. It is truly pathetic that we in the US have legislated our selves into a position that does not allow us to take advantage of the more fuel efficient diesels every other country can use. Maybe in 2008 a new batch of diesels will appear.   Thanks again for the information
