Man the new Jeeps are unreal. There is this one new Jeep that is Hummer size, with a built in bumber winch, V8, 37" tires, and seats with shock absorders (HUGE!) The Unlimited, and Rubicon were nice as well.

I saw that same Jeep on tv the other day...looks like a cross between an H2 and a Wrangler. I am not sure if I like it personally....too many syling cues from an H2, which I despise as it is. I am sure it is gonna be a hoss though!

It's a Jeep, Hummer size. The H2 is crap compared to this thing. I would never be able to afford one unless I were to win the lottery or something, but I think this Jeep will be the end of the H2.

Hummer has this small pickup that is very cool, I think this vehicle will do real well, and could probably compete with a Wrangler as far as going places no vehicle can go besides a Wrangler.

The New Ford Bronco really gave me a boner, It reminds me of the earlier cool ones, which is what Ford designed it after, fricken awsome!

With gas prices expected to be $3 a gallon this summer, I am glad I have what I do.

I was at The Chicago auto Show yesterday also. I looked at the new unlimited it looks alright with the top off of it, but the one with the top on it reminds to much of like a range rover or land rover type of vehicle not a jeep. The Rubicon impressed me though i really liked that. If i had the money to buy another jeep i would spring for the rubicon.

when are the wrangler's going to get redesigned? Was the rubicon several of you mentioned at the autoshow a redesigned rubicon, or this years model with some more bells and whistles?

The Rubicon at the show was the 2005 model, same body with more bugs and whistles. I think 2006 is the year for the Wrangler redesign. I hope Chrysler reconsiders that idea.
