Figured it would come sooner or later. Not to mention they skipped on bringing back Comanche for the pickup, so they obviously understand that there’s some sensitivity around it- or the consumers they workshopped names with did.

Since NZ is further from the UK than India, how about we just call it a NZPA if its even hoppier than an IPA.

I mean going with the lower tier stuff might be the way to do it. It turns in the store fast and someone’s more likely to just think they got a bad bottle and dump it than complain like they would if they got a bad expensive one.

Agreed, though thinking back to the bid process that led to the original Jeep, Bantam was the first pick, but couldnt handle the production level, Willys got the contract due to some design changes to mimic Bantam, and Ford ended up getting to do some of the production of the Willys model because Willys couldn’t…

the first one? 

Agreed.  I live in Houston and if they were on 290, they could have gone 20 minutes northwest and been in the middle of nowhere... 

I went to a private school in LA, saw plenty of this kind of stuff.

yup.  Literally everything he listed in mid tier is top tier in the off-road world.  

I had a rental car with automatic emergency braking and hated it.  Only went off once but was enough for me to think this isn’t ready for prime time.  Was backing out of a parking space, barely rolling and it locked up the brakes for a car that I knew was coming and would turn into a space before it became an issue.
