I can't see GM buying Chrysler or Jeep for that matter but if they did, I'd give it 2 years and Jeeps can say good-bye to the solid front axle setup. Even GM's 1 ton trucks have IFS! I've had 2 Blazers (one of them a ZR2), 2 GM pickups and both my family and my wife's family have had more GM's than I'd care to count and their main limitation is their front end. I know I went through ball joints and control arm bushings than I'd care to remember. that's the biggest reason I drive what I drive now...an 05 F-250 4x4 diesel. I've got a 4.5 inch lift on it with 36 inch IROKs and I can beat on it until the cows come home and everything is as good as it was 30,000 miles ago. with the 05 ZR2 Blazer i had, I went through 2 sets of ball joints in 12000 miles and I didn't really abuse it much. I won't even go into what a piece of junk that 4.3 V6 was...my 3/4 ton ford gets better mileage! the H2 and H3 are jokes in my book. I've driven them both on and offroad and would steer clear of both of them. I drove a buddy's JK for a day a couple weeks ago and we're heading to the dealership this week to put in our order before the build deadline comes into effect. why? because in a nutshell, it just makes sense. SFA, removeable tops, availabiliity of lockers, sway bar disconnect, etc etc etc....things that make a Jeep a Jeep. I'm just sorry I never had one before now!
I just hope this rumour isn't true.

But at least this has the Wrangler running gear...

I didn't know that they still made that junk. That's the some of the ugliest crap that I've ever seen. It fits into the same catogory as the YJ Renegade for looks in my opinion.

I almost shat out of my mouth when I followed that link... ick! yuck! puke!

Ha Ha
It does seem to fall into the same category as the Renegade.
I forgot about that one. I still have my sales brochure from '88
that shows it.

I remember seeing a bunch of those ugly things at one of the local Jeep dealers, Keffer Jeep, a few years back. They were really big into selling them for some reason. I wondered why someone would ruin a perfectly good TJ like that.

I had almost forgotten about them until I saw one driving around a couple of m onths ago.

Lucky thing for us... we have the internet to help dredge up things that should be forgotten.

AHHHH!!! It looks like a baby hummer.

So, here is the non-JK based H4, scheduled for 2010.


Note, no removable top.

At first glance, it looks like some plastic kid's toy... at second glance, it looks pretty "tough," but that's a concept edition... take away the huge tires and various other "showy" features that will never see production, and it'll still suck like a Hummer should! It looks just good enough that I have no doubt it'll sell very well among those with tiny penises - you know, the TYPICAL Hummer buyers. :toung:
