Re: Wrangler Unlimited = very dumb name (if nothing else)
 

What heritage ? The scrambler was just a longer pickup bed CJ. So what's
wrong with
TJ Scramblers, XJ Scramblers (except they called it the Comanche) ?

Frankly, its a lot better name than the "Cherokee", named after a people
that genocide was attempted on.. probably why DC kept it...

Unlimited is very bland though, isn't it ? Patently false and absurd.

I think most people remember the Cherokee people for much more than
that. Besides, it wasn't their fault. Maybe Jeep should pay them for
using the name all these years.
