DC ought to axe those wannabes and not forget what "Jeep" means. I'm
glad I got my TJ now, before the rumors say it will be killed.

The Gladiator actually looks decent, but could use a little more
traditional (CJ) style front-end. If its production matches the
concept then it could replace my pickup when it dies of old age.
Forget the H3, the Gladiator appears to be a decent alternative to
having a Wrangler and a pickup, but not a replacement for the
CJ/Wrangler heritage.

Well, if DC can't stick with "Jeep" then there will be a perfect
opportunity for someone to start up a "specialty" automobile
manufacturer to produce Real J**Ps.
