Default What if..........?

What if Jeep came out with a model smaller then the old world war II Jeep? Small 3 passenger with a small 4cyl. engine that could get at least 28 city and 35 Hwy. It would have a soft top, would be full time front wheel drive and have part time 4Hi/4Lo. I'm thinking something the size of a Mini.
Most importantly it would be a beast off road.

Would you buy it?

Are you talking about a Jeep Patriot with a soft top?

I felt in love with the JK because it's bigger than the TJ. Therefore, I'm not interested.

I think that Jeep made a good job with the Patriot. Let's see if this small Jeep will be there in 5 years...

It would be cool, probably a niche vehicle though. I also think it would be tough to get those mileage figures if it were going to be functional off-road beyond some kind of soft-ute.
