Jeep to make sports car?!?!?!

http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=102928

not too shabby looking if I do say so.

Compass is more a fast and furious uphill racer, a broad-shouldered rally-crossover with many sports car cues, including red-stripe, low-profile tires on large five-spoke wheels, meant to do battle with the all-wheel-drive cars encroaching on the lower end of Jeep’s traditional market. Both new Jeeps are aimed at price segments below the current entry-level Wrangler model that starts at $18,730.
I would buy that.

to respond. I would say similar to the Martix and cars like that. The sketch looks like it needs to be cleaned up. But I honestly think it could work.

*EDIT* for picture


I see some lines that are the same, however Jeep still seems to have the jeep look. I don't know. I'll wait for the unvailing at the car show and see some pics of the car. Hard to go by the drawing

"Hey, we need more sales. Let's jump on the sports car crossover bandwagon before it gets away"

"w00t. lets design something trendy that uses played out cliches."

"yeah but everyone has to know its a jeep."

"word. let's pull a mangina with our styling prowess and stick the same grill on every car in our lineup, becuase chrysler executives are transsexuals"

"yes, and we will market it to the entry level rice crowd who knows absolutely nothing about performance beyond how it looks and what its horsepower rating will be."

"we can always make a crappy SRT version when this car completely tanks on the sales numbers."

"give it black rims too with a colored lip so we can bite the jdm flavor. that's also trendy. Dont worry about racing it. it's just for looks."



the car really does look like a sportscar pulled a mangina.
