boneheads at jeep corporate
 

first some bonehead down at jeep corporate decides to drop yellow and sienna
from the wranger lineup (if either color were available it would make my
color choice easy. if both were available, id probably flip a coin). next,
some bonehead decides to replace the black top/flares with grey...luckily
that mistake was corrected. in preparing to order my '05 rubicon i finally
decided on another khaki with the black top/interior (just like my '03
http://7slotgrille.com/reviews/performance/doors/6.jpg ) and when i went
down to make the final order, i found out for '05 some corporate bonehead
decided that you cannot get the khaki wrangler with the black top/interior.
you can get a green jeep (rolling off the same assembly line) with a black
top/interior, but you can only get the khaki top/interior on the khaki jeep.
i cant help but wonder what the hell these people are thinking in making
stupid decisions like this. it just makes no sense why you can get the
black top/interior on EVERY color rubicon except the khaki. if you have
some insight on why this bonehead decision was made, please share.

Is this the same Nathan W. Collier that swore publically MANY times that
he would never buy another Jeep after being sued by DC? Doesn't this
make your second Jeep purchased since making that loud and vociferous
pledge? ;)

Re: boneheads at jeep corporate
 

He used "jeep" in the URL to his website. DC got a little testy and flexed
their muscles. I think that today, Nathan could probably fight them and win
because there have been recent rulings that product names in a website are
not indicators by themselves that consumers can be confused. Basically, DC
said that consumers will go to Nathan's site and be confused about the
product offerings.

It was more complicated than that, but this is the reader's digest version.
I think DC was WAY off base in their attacks on Nathan, and many others for
that matter.
