I guy I know who works for Jeep said that Jeep is trying to appeal to the Asian market. They do not like square edge vehicles over ther so that's why it has to look like a minivan
As a jeep owner I am always scared to buy first generation anything from Chrysler. Always seems they work the bugs out after that one. I'll wait to see how many issues it has. I am still fixing issues on my 08'. Kk.
I would like to see one parked next to a KK so I could compare how much smaller it is. I think its tiny. Embarrassingly tiny. But I like the way it looks

Honestly, I like it. Hopefully it is packaged well enough that it can fit real people in the front and back seats. Fit it with one of the nice Turbo fours (like the one in the 500 Abarth) and you will have a neat economical little 4x4.
If you look at the straight on pictures, it definitely has some KK in the design. I like the roof panels more than anything. Should be less of a headache compared to the skyslider.
I'm not sure whether I like it or not - it's grown on me since I saw the photo the first time. From what I was reading, this is the larger version (still small) and they are considering a smaller version, too. My husband said it might be a nice first car for a girl. LOL
I don't mean to offend anyone, but I totally agree. And this is coming from someone who used to think the Liberty was a chick's car.. (And now I have one lol) My girlfriend really likes the Renegade, and I'd love to get her into a Jeep that is practical for her. (cheap, gets good mileage, and is small)
I think its going to be a smashing hit, and I can't wait. :thumbsup:
I kind of feel like they should use a different name than Renegade. I don't know how they could use the "Renegade" moniker as a trim level option for other models now.
In any case, it'll definitely be interesting to see in person.

At least they are putting tow hooks on everything now. My 2011 KK didn't come with them. I see plenty vehicles in the ditch in the winter. They should put them on all vehicles.
I said the same thing when the KJ replaced the XJ..When the KJ had its mid-cycle refresh, I learned to not hate it as much. Then we got the KK. And then I got a KK :laugh:
There's no telling where the future of Jeep is going to be. (Could anyone have guessed that we'd be where we are today?)
I do see a Jeep when I see the Renegade. Its much easier to accept as such after being subjected to the polarization of the KL.
