First look at the Jeep Compass
The following is from CNN.com. Photos and the full story are online at
http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/aut...n.exclude.html Jeep Compass Search all you want, you'll find no "Trail Rated" badge on the Compass, as Jeep's new addition to the line-up isn't designed to go off-road. This is a car designed for buyers who like the idea and style of Jeep vehicles but don't want the reality of owning a genuine off-roader. (The rough ride and all that, you know.) The question is will the fakery of the off-road look bother potential buyers? "The market that they're going after has not been raised on Wranglers and the toughness of Jeep," said Bell. "I think that they'll be very happy with the pseudo-toughness and will not be offended by the lack of off-road ability," he added. At least Compass buyers, as opposed to asphalt-bound Jeep Liberty buyers, will be honest about faking it. |

Hmm, looks like being the ugliest car since the AMC Pacer so they must be
going going back to their pseudo-roots. Dave <lambeth65@earthlink.net> wrote in message news:1137864980.699276.210380@z14g2000cwz.googlegr oups.com... > The following is from CNN.com.
