Jeep Renegade

Uggggh!
A Fiat 500 with wanna-be Jeep sheet metal.
Good luck with that!
The stick shift might be towble.

Since the Cherokee looks like it is half asleep I guess they need a model that looks like it just saw a ghost.

That should not have the Jeep name on it.

In my opinion you guys are trying to compare this jeep to a Wrangler. It is not a wrangler or trying to be one. It competes with the Honda CRV , Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape and if I had to choose one of these, I would choose the Renegade. JEEP.COM has more details on it.

Correct. This seems to be an ideal vehicle for those that want an off roadable small toad. The Samurais, Sidekicks, Vitaras, and Trackers are getting long in the tooth and finding a good one is a challenge these days. If they brought the diesel engine that would be even better for those that have diesel fueled RVs.

Not sure why folks would slag on the 500. The Abarth is supposed to be a riot to drive for those with sporting inclinations. If they do a little SUV as well as they did that, it could be a winner. If they don't make the 4wd versions towable that would be an epic fail.

If you go to the jeeprenegade forum, the specs for the 4x4 drivetrain show a neutral position for it. I hope it is towable also and since the new Cherokee has been made towable, I am thinking this vehicle should be also although no owners manual is available to confirm this. Having owned a 98 Tracker, I wanted a light toad and at 3200 lbs., this toad should work. If it is towable, I will probably switch my 2 dr Wrangler for this vehicle next year.
