So if we have Remington, Winchester, Jeep, and Bushmaster, what would
you call the company?

I could live with more SRT models, if they bring in enough money to keep
the more offroad versions available. Actually I would prefer ride
height control on an SRT version with both hot street and decent trail
capability, but thats just me.

The SS396 El Camino never really hurt Chevy trucks much... different
strokes and all that crap.

The models I really don't much care for are the glorified mini-van
models. Somehow there is something different between a Grand Cherokee
with a big motor and factory lowering and a glorified mini-van with the
Jeep name on it...at least to me. I could even see a street rod Wrangler
that wouldn't tip over in corners... as long as it doesn't fornicate up
the trail Wranglers.

Sadly, the mini-van contingent seems more willing to buy crap.

If you could figure out how to get a big enough electric source in the
thing, think of the crawl capability of an engine that develops max
torque at stall. With one of them feeding each wheel independently,
adjustable wheelspin controls, etc. Of course electric motors also tend
to develop a tad of heat under load which probably shoots that idea in
the head until the Flux Capacitor or a nuke power plant is more available.
