Camp Jeep at Road America (Elkhart Lake, WI)
Anybody ever done the Camp Jeep deal? Just wondering if it's worth the
$395. Looks pretty cool from the website.

Re: Camp Jeep at Road America (Elkhart Lake, WI)
I just returned from Camp Jeep. Definitely worth the admission price. Many
people have attended for years (this was the 12th year). That's a testament
to the value of the event. Folks said that this year was not as good as
previous years, but I cannot speak to that as it was my first.
People attended from all ove the US & parts of Canada. They had a map that
you could mark with your home. I saw CJ5s, CJ7s, CJ8s, YJs, TJs, XJs, KJs
(Liberties), WJs (Grands), and XKs (Commanders) on the trails. I didn't see
any flatties or trucks (e.g., J10) on the trails. I did see Jeepsters and
other models in the parking lots.
There were many JKs available to look at, sit in and drive (Jeep 101). I
drove a 2 door on the Jeep 101 course. I still haven't figured out how I
feel about the JK.
They had SRT-8 Grand Cherokees available to drive on the race course. You
followed a pro race diver in a pace car. The SRT-8 Grands really go!
All seven 2007 models were on display: Commander, Grand Cherokee, Wrangler,
Wrangler Unlimited, Liberty Compass, & Patriot.
Jeep put on a good show and really listened to feedback from the customers.

Re: Camp Jeep at Road America (Elkhart Lake, WI)
To be honest, I didn't give them a second glance. I think that they will
be good vehicles, but they just don't appeal to me. They will fill niches
in the market and may draw people into the Jeep brand that might have not
have considered it before.
The Patriot is a entry-level small SUV, probably meant to compete with
the RAV4.
The Compass will be marketed to a young, urban consumer. If they haven't
aired yet, you will soon see bobble-head ads on TV soon.
Sorry that I didn't spend more time checking them out...
