Default Jeep Rescue!

Do you guys think this car will every reach prodution? I simply love it, and I think it's got what it needs to bring Jeep back to it's throne since this car reminds me so much of the good old Willys 8)

Here are some pics from Jeep.com : http://www.jeep.com/autoshow/concept...ype=promo1_img

And here is a video featuring the concept car: http://www.jeep.com/autoshow/concept...y&type=gallery

Why they should put it in production: During the last years Jeep's famous reputation has faded away with boring models without personality like the new Jeep Cherokee, the latest Wranglers and more. With the Rescue they take on Hummer with a car that WORKS and is purpose only. The fact that it looks as it does is really cool, it's quite boxy, you can take off the doors, it's rugged and basically a tool for men. In my eyes it's just what is needed to bring Jeep back and away from stupid mainstream cars and back to what it really is, a tool. And this tool looks fucking great to!

I think that is very ugly.

They do have some stuff right now, it's just that they never advertise it. It's the Freedom packages that can be had on the Cherokee and the Liberty. I haven't a clue if it's on the Wrangler.

What is it with you people? OKAY, it's not a fucking 2Fast2Furious NOS stupid Turbo car that goes extremely fast from 0-60mph ONCE. But it's functional, and last but not least it glows of testosteron! This is just what is needed for Jeep, external door-hinges, rough/adjustable chassis, dual vinch, everything is perfect

We all know H2 is uncapable of even crawling out of a gutter ( www.fuh2.com ). It got towed out by the original Hummer.

jeep rescue is to H2 as H1 is to H2
this doesnt mean jeep rescue is a H1
i dont mind it, but the Wrangler is far from lackluster, it lacks the torque of the H2, but also lacks the aditional 3000 or so lbs

I think looks pretty cool, but something is desporately
wrong with the back, I think it would look much better
if they flattend it(the back that is). It has a lot of the
Willys styling in it. And I read somewhere else that it
would have 325hp and 600ft/lbs of torque from a Cummins
deisel, that should be enough to compete with Hummer.

I think the Wrangler Rubican earned them most
of there reputation back already, but this would
be a great addition as the Wrangler Rubican is
quite small and can't quite compete with the H2.
