New 2005 GC
Just saw the new 2005 GC at the California Intl. Auto Show. I was not
impressed by the 5 part hardly soft all plastic dash. Nor by the fit and
finish of the door material. I think it they want to stay in the class
they set from 1999-2004 they need to up the quality now.

Re: New 2005 GC
the '05 GC is not really a Jeep at all. It is a "something" loosely based
on what used to be a great vehicle, those last designed by AMC. "Jeep" is
now a foreign "car." Did you look underneath? Did you laugh? Did you
wonder what you were looking at? Did the rear-end styling remind you of an
Aztec? Did you wonder why there were sled runners aft of the rear axle?
Did you wonder why the gas tank is hanging down under the driver's seat?
Did you marvel at the 2 cast iron tuna cans attached to the rear
differential? Did you lament the passing of the front solid axle? Did ask
what happened to the 2 missing guages in the instrument cluster?

Re: New 2005 GC
LOL. You know, you're pro AMC posts used to irk me. Now I just find them
amusing. :) I do agree that I don't like the direction DC is going.
Maybe we could all pitch in and buy Jeep, kinda like the people own the
Green Bay Packers, and return it to its roots.

Re: New 2005 GC
Come on just becuase the trailer hitch if hit hard enough will take out the
axle; you now idiot lights instead of a gauge for oil pressure; your
wheelbase is longer to move the gas tank so that your spare tire can now
have the abiltiy to submerse in mud rain sand ice or snow, etc.....
