I understand the financial rationale. I just don’t want to do it.

It’s a shame they dropped the manual for the 2nd gen. If I’m stuck with an auto anyway I think I’d rather have the Commander.

Some of us really don’t want to deal with the hassles involved with selling a car. Trading one in is a lot more appealing.

The loss of Saturday morning cartoons over the years is yet another sign of societal calamity.

Nope, but for that price I’ll take this Triumph plz.

The Grand Cherokee still looks like the original, more or less.

Buy this along the way and save yourself $14,000.

Thanks! Will definitely consider getting one. Good sales pitch.

Could you include a photo of it bagged up for size comparison? This sounds interesting, but the Jeep is very short on storage capacity.

The thought of an eccentric billionaire making Jalopnik fever dreams a reality is a pleasant one. Imagine the fleet of rusty Jeeps David Tracy could assemble in a warehouse.

Ahem.

It would still be a talking point. I don’t care how good or bad automatic transmissions are. I want 3 pedals and a functional shifter for my own enjoyment.

Thanks for all the weekend entertainment, Max. Definitely enjoyed seeing some of the interesting cars in Israel.

Nope, I’m afraid I’m a dilettante in these matters. Have never worked on any engine and I’ve only owned one Jeep. 

I’m definitely intrigued. Seems surprisingly affordable given the current craze for classic SUVs.

Given the price differential, that’s impressive.

I’m curious whether Jeep is happy with Gladiator sales. Obviously the pandemic is screwing up everything, but even before that the numbers were a bit anemic, from casual observation.

Have I got a series for you!

more like a Jeep J-10 than a Jeep J-10

Heh. The real problem is that the windows can literally crack if you open the top when it’s cold enough, and the top won’t go back on if it’s much below 60°.
