Essentially.. yes.. a real jeep has to be judged by what can be achieved today.. any suggestion that a real jeep can only be a latter day clone of the short, dumpy, drab vehicle that was driven around the Ardennes Forest circa 1945 wielding a .50 cal machine gun, folding shovel and jerry can, or an original from that period has to be tossed aside.. If all auto manufacturer products were to be judged similarly, one could only imagine what Nascar would have looked like.. Model T's sporting aerodynamic aides and blown and injected 428's all because the Model T is the only real Ford.. yes, Ford Talladega owners.. your cars are not 'real' Fords.. lol
Having said that, Nathan Collier has a link to a page of Jeeps.. some of the pics do NOT show real jeeps.. they are just Jeep-shaped.. lol
