Jeep Renegade Concept not boxy at all!

Dutchy · **Posted:** Tue Jan 15, 2008 7:22 am

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

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...

110mpg off-roader. powered by electric motors with a blu-tech diesel aux. generator.

Anybody notice that the Automobile mag link says to expect the Gladiator during 2008?

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:13 pm

Electric motor! Think of the torque it has!

ROCK CRAWLING? Seriously. It appears to have some ground clearence, but man I'd sure had to roll it. I dont trust that "roll bar".

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:

jerbacher · **Posted:** Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:39 pm

the torque is instant and continuous also. no power band or anything like that.

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!

Looks like 2001 with a little more round... http://allpar.com/model/concepts/willies.html

or the jeepster on here... http://allpar.com/cars/concepts/jeep.html

jerbacher · **Posted:** Tue Jan 15, 2008 4:27 pm

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.
