Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

The front doors don't open over the front fender well and that along with the lack of roof windows is a let down for me.

I hope they follow through with the new Kombi van concept

In which case my first EV will be a van.

Any jeep or bronco fans in here?

Fan of both.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

Forgot to post this. @AlwaysFSX i couldn't tell last night if this was wet cement or sand. And i haven't left the house today to go look. Also its raining so if it cement, its gonna be wet for a while

Looks like cement to me.

 

Also drove next to a Subaru yesterday that had exhaust that sounded like an old school Corvette. And backfired like a 444.

Wouldn't mind a Jeep Comanche or Wagoneer SJ. And first gen broncos are seriously cool. If overpriced.

I don't think I'd need a prompt button to prompt me to get in and take off. xD

As for the Kombi, I dig it. Will probably be tamed down for the final version though.... 

In games you will almost always get a button prompt.

I'm counting on it being a bit more tame. As with all concepts.

The doors are a non-issue for me. Though suicide doors would've been cool. Roof windows may be an optional extra. Most likely a full glass roof though.

I'm a nostalgic person so little changed like the doors can slightly bother me, although it's probably due to safety concerns. The roof you are probably right about, which would be pretty neat.

Throw some drapes in there and a bed and you'll have a camper you can stargaze from. How neat is that shit xD

Well if you "stargaze" like they did back when they first came out, as long as you have hot pockets a microwave and tunes you should good to go lol. Also VW you NEED to have a shag carpet option.

One of my favorite wagon designs. 

 

I'll stick to actual stargazing xD. 

Brand new shag carpet might not be too bad.

Buying one from the 70s with carpet though.. I'd rip that out immediately. Probably has enough DNA in it to clone a few people..

Both the Kaiser and the one i posted are pretty similar. I just prefer the chrome grill.

 

That tells me very little. 30k would be pretty standard over here. A volvo XC90 starts at 50k

How on earth are a Jeep and Volvo comparable? 

Also saw this wacky XC40 at the dealership

Both are SUV's and the volvo is our local option. 

 

That's probably going to sell well

I just don't see the Volvo and Jeep targeting the same people. 

Eh probably. I'm not too big on its looks but it will probably grow on me, kinda like the Q2.

sorry, more information required. the jeep wrangler, a utilitarian inexpensive suv is now more expensive base model than a jeep grand cherokee, a luxry suv ... seems a bit ironic...

Yeah i know its unfair to the Jeeps to be compared to such awful cars :P

 

Many companies are trying to be quirky. Its the way things are headed.

Lol I would stick to star gazing myself.

You better power wash the inside as well... With bleach.

Just throwing this out there. The base model wrangler starts at $23995 Msrp and most dealers sell below Msrp.
