New Jeeps..sort of...

I just got an email from Jeep.

okay, okay...but look at it this way, if these little Jeeps get more money coming into the brand and allow the real Jeeps to survive, I'd consider them a necessary evil. I'd hate to see Jeep go the way of Oldsmobile or Plymouth and get absorbed by the parent company.

My wife would LOVE to have a Jeep-equivalent to a Subaru Forester, the Subaru's were considerably more than our KJ, and no discounting by the dealers we talked to, just like the CRV (thank God).
