Discount Matthew McConaughey looks like his soul just left his body:

I wanted to CP this... I really did. Why would anyone want this car? I don’t know.

then I did research on it, and found that worse examples are listed higher. It seems pretty clear that what you see here IS worth it to someone... I just don’t know who that someone is... sure as heck isn’t me.

For 10k, I’m not buying...…

I remember making fun of these when I was a teenager when they came out. I couldn’t figure out why someone would pay MORE money for a gussied up LeBaron.

Gah, tough one. It’s such a hilarious novelty of a car that I have to kind of love it. It’s kind like a shitty B-movie that becomes a cult classic. But cult classics always have limited value. $15k is absurd, but I think $10k for really well preserved version isn’t completely absurd.

I liked Lincoln’s spin on door handles with the newest Continental better than these “seamless” ones.

against the law to sell a new vehicle without a camera and screen now.

Here’s how I’d spec mine out.

Same.

Just maxxed out the configurator at $64,110 for a Rubicon with every option. Yeesh!

Actually digging that

Meanwhile, at the Chevy “Build & price” configurator...

It’s easy to be “best in class” if you’re in a class of one.

TTAC has a series called Ace of Base where they do a paper review of the base model.  Sometimes they will do an actual review of the base model.

From David Tracy’s Truck Yeah earlier report:

My gripe has always been that press vehicles are always so “well optioned” and the base models never get review time. It’s good to see that Jeep is showing off the Sport.

Wait... Hold the press... a $60k truck is better than all the $45k trucks in its class?

The rear doors really piss me off. More than they should, probably. 

You might be reading too much into a patent drawing about details aren’t very relevant to the patent. It’s not a blueprint for the car.

I’m seeing one major flaw - no floor lip. Jeep doors don’t extend to the floor, so stuff doesn’t tend to roll out the door opening. From the diagram, it looks like Ford didn’t consider this.

During the course of development, vehicle programs often discover new ways to do things. Those things are patentable, but not often executable within the financial constraints of the program.  That may be the case here.
