So what's going on here! The new Jeep Renegade Concept has all the styling looks of a KJ, round headlights, round tail lights and curvy lines all over even in the interior :D
Is this going to be the future of Jeep again and are the Commander and the KK just knee jerks on the way to progress.

I will (as always) be attending the 2008 Philadelphia International Auto Show. This is coming up Feb 2-10, 2008. I will post pics of all the worthwhile Jeep vehicles after that (and anything else we all may find interesting). I'm not sure which weekend I'll be going yet... :D

Ok, I'm a nerd yes I'm 26 and fly model airplanes sue me!

Actually TokyoJoe (if that was sarcasm)
I have no idea what they plan on using but a big outrunner motor with a low KV rating can put out some pretty serious torque.

If that wasn't sarcasm just slap me and tell me to shut up... :lol:

Yep, no spool up time or anything. Talk about being able to smoke some tires! :shock:

I like it! Very futuristic. Wonder if it actually go into production. Looks like it has IFS and IRS.

Looks like a dune buggy. But, I like it and 2 seats are fine with me!

yeah, i really felt like it looked like a revisit to the older concepts, aesthetically, with just a new concept powerplant. but that engine setup isnt even conceptual... fisker is about to release a car that does exactly that, and chevy has the volt coming soon thats pretty similar. so...basically the concept sucks.

I was thinking the same thing, reminds of the 70's cartoon "Speed Buggy" just green.
