If they make it with a Rubicon option, I'll buy it!

LOL They better watch their naming conventions Handspring will sue their pants off:

I like it. It's cool looking. I can't see it really roughing it tho.

I hate it - it looks like a bug waiting to be squashed.

For some reason, it reminds me of the old Renault 2CV, rendered in stainless steel.

you mean Citroen 2CV .. hadn't thought of that, but now you mention it, it certainly looks more like a 1946 Citroen than a Jeep !

"This concept car features certain traditional Jeep styling cues like the seven-bar grille, but it also includes "adventurous image" effects such as over-sized tyres, exposed front suspension units, and a sill plate pattern based on the tread of a hiking boot."

Is a sill plate like a rocker panel? Do we really want rocker panels that can hold onto things? I think not. Wouldn't be embarassing to have to pull out the HiLift because the rocker panels were caught on a rock?

Hey the Citroen's also had that cool air suspension where you could change a flat tire without a jack too! I notice Jeep hasn't done that yet :)

That was the DS19 and DS21, the ones that looked like a UFO on wheels. You could change your vehicle height while you were driving. They were pretty cool, actually.

Its a Daimler Chrysler thing - nobody understands them...

WOW! What are the odds they'd spell it the same way too? n.

The Do She Vo didn't have air suspension... but it did have a wonderful feature; for bright lights, you turn a knob to raise or lower the bar holding the headlamps. Infinitely adjustable headlamp aiming... neat. __ Steve .

I think they'd get away with it as little electronic devices are totally different to Jeeps.

What if I carry one in my Jeep? I might get confused and throw it in a mud puddle!

...and trampoline seats! And you could park in spots that were too small. All you had to do was pick up each end and walk it into the parking spot! (but it didn't have handles, like Bill's jeep does...)
