So my wife and I were on three weeks vacation this past September on the islands of Santorini and Milos and I saw some strange sights: the Jeep Liberty model with the "Cherokee" nameplate on it... I saw this several times in Athens too.
Someone had the gall to put a Jeep tire cover on the rear tire of their Toyota whatereveritwas... It was so disturbing to me I took a picture of it.
Seems almost everyone calls their 4x4 a "jeep." Samuris are popular there. One of my wife's best friends there has the Grand Vitara (not so grand); she calls it her Jeep. I brought a pic of my '02 TJ and said to her, "No, *this* is a Jeep."
Next year in Greece we'll be renting a 4x4 (hopefully a real Jeep) so we'll be able to explore a lot more... Having the Wrangler in Mexico was GREAT, plus, the roads there are horrendous. Getting around was a lot easier and much more fun in the 4 cylinder, half-doored TJ.
