Never said it couldn’t off-road. I’m sure that part is great, for a while anyway. The problem is just the cost. What a waste of a good opportunity. 

Yeah, like I said, it’s about the money. Same reason they don’t make a single cab Gladiator, not worth it to them. 

Not arguing it’s capabilities, just it’s price point. I was truly hoping for that capable, utilitarian off-roader for the masses. Not another Beverly Hills carpooler..... 

lol...no, no, I didn’t mean to imply that you could buy an Icon for $90k, sorry. More just saying that if I have stupid money, it would not be spent on a Land Rover Defender.

Praise him for what? Designing an overly complicated and expensive 4wd? With extremely questionable reliability? The only one praising him will be the board members of Land Rover when these things sell all over Hollywood to the elite. Decked it’s a $90K SUV? Give me an ICON Bronco please.

Apparently these spoiled brats over here at Jalopnik have negotiated some extra holidays.

Brilliant! Now just make my fenders point exactly where my tires are pointing. Because on my Jeep, that damn steering wheel throws it out of alignment constantly and I have to keep adjusting it. (Sadly, even when going down a straight paved road.) Another one of those damn flaws from WWII I think.

Yeah, good luck with that mpg. The 2019 Grand is rated at 24 for the diesel and 21 for the 3.6L. It all comes down to the real mpg of the diesel. Which is why diesels flop in so many applications, no great improvement.

Huh? Going from C terminal to the B terminal there is a set of stairs right in the middle between the escalators. I take it every now and then when I am in a hurry.

coughbullshitcough...they just didn’t want to spend the money on a redesigned fuel tank. 

No offense but your math doesn’t add up.... (I used AAA avg gas/diesel pricing)

It depends on where you live and the $ difference between gas/diesel. Simple math, take the (cost of gas/by the mpg)*miles driven per year=annual gas cost. Do the same for diesel, subtract A from B for a savings. You can add $50 a year for DEF to the diesel costs. How many years will it take for that savings to equal

Most wanted manuals for the durability aspect. I had friends swapping in GM turbo 400s in Jeeps back in the ‘80s because they were more durable than some Jeep manuals.

on the two-door Wranglers Jeep just wouldn’t be able to fit a big enough fuel tank “for customer needs,”

That only applies to the big truck diesels. The extra maintenance makes up most of the difference.

Wanna walk? Take the stairs which always adjacent to the escalator.

Actually, Ford and Chevy have already started doing this. GM has a remote camera that attaches to the back of the camera so when you in the electronic screen, the trailer is invisible. And they already display camera views from the side mirror cams.

38 miles on California hwy. In a 1984 CJ7 with 4.10 gears. Really made me hate a clutch.

lol....yes! A CC comment, awesome. I always envied Dan Tanna myself.

Definitely a good option. Nothing wrong with the 2.7L at all.
