interesting concept

[Pete M]

well, if you're into IFS/IRS that is.

 

 

[Zebvance]

:hmm:

[87Warrior]

'I told you so!'

 

:(

[MJfan94]

I wasn't expecting that.

Fiat Panda/500/Renegade concept

[Lowly]

That is no true Commanche and no I would not buy that.

[Pete M]

they also unveiled a hellcat powered wrangler:

and a crewcab m715

 

 

 

[Akula69]

Now the M715 is kinda neat....

[88whitemanche]

I think I just got a stomach virus...

 

But I don't understand how they already had a great concept from the jk wrangler and had to mess it up with this...

[Pete M]

It's just a concept so far.  I do admire what the designers were able to do given what they were forced to work with.  the old-school 715 cues really take the edge off of the original car's design.  if it does go into production, I doubt it'll look this interesting.

 

[HOrnbrod]

I don't see anything in this thread that I'd consider - except for the FC in the hellcat powered wrangler pic background.  :yes:

The rag top truck would be nice to cruz in

[johnny quest]

4cyl diesel: cool.

32s: cool.

rear locker: cool.

 

IFS/IRS: not cool

plastic bed with metal floor: not cool. 

crappy steel wheels: not cool.

I kinda like the Renegade. That thing? Dunno. The Renegade's pudgy roundness doesn't really lend itself to a truck.

I'm the opposite. I actually don't mind the look of it.

[Dillithium]

I kinda like the Renegade pick up :dunno:

 

I mean, obviously it's a concept and we'd have to see what the end result is. But despite it being rough around the edges, I like it.

 

Hopefully we'll know after this year's Easter safari what to expect in 2018.

(Diesel + 32" tires + rear locker) + 6.2" rear ring gear = total joke

As the day keeps going on this Comanche concept is starting to grow on me but there is a few things about it that need to be changed.

[Minuit]

Too round and too much focus on the dumb easter eggs. The size is right though. Small trucks these days aren't so small. I love that M715 crew cab except for the stencils on the hood.

[neohic]

I think it's cute and I kinda dig it. In my head I'm trying to justify liking it.  :rotf: Wait!... the bed side!  :idea: Put the outside on the inside and things start looking familiar!

 

 

... AND?!...

 

 

There you have it! It's pretty much the same truck we already love!  :D Anyhow... I still like it.

[johnj92131]

Needs more than a Micro-Bed.  Diesel is good but how much torque?  What Transmission?

[91Pioneer]

No likey the looks. Yuk. Should have made it more retro if they're using the Comanche name. More like the MJ squared off look. Bubbly cute roundness doesn't cut it. I'd rather see something that looks like an updated MJ.

 

IFS/IRS doesn't bother me a bit because I don't go wheelin'.

[Minuit]

Ooh, good eye Ben. They knew exactly what they were doing there I think.

 

:agree:  The cutesy look doesn't do it at all for me. They can black out the wheels and put aggressive tires on it all they like, but it's still too "cute." A 5 foot bed wouldn't be enough for me either. Sometimes 6 feet of bed is cutting it close. Of course, I use my truck for work every once in a while - no such worry with the Cute Comanche.

[schardein]

The funny thing is, if they put a real effort at doing a retro Comanche, and came up with something that actually appealed to most of us in this forum... then the XJ crowd would demand an XJ version of it to replace that thing they are calling a Cherokee now.
