Re: Compass looks like a kiddie car + pic of a Scrambler
 

My thought is that, in a round-about way, DC is admitting their mistake
(killing the Dakar) by introducing the Scrambler. I'll bet we see a rear
seat/full hard top option from the factory.

If not, then consider this a very big hint, DC! Don't let the aftermarket
beat you to it!

I saw the Dakar in person at the Cleveland auto show just after it was
announced in all the rags, I fell in love, and vowed to sell both of my CJ's
and my truck to buy a Dakar.

I don't have my truck anymore, but I still have my CJ's. Are you listening,
DC?!?

Oh well, in two years my six passenger Scrambler will be done and I won't
need to buy a new one. Everybody knows that CJ's are better anyway!

Hi Andy,
Did you notice if the bed looked like it had a removable partition?
