Just asking because we really like ours. My wife was considering a JL but gagged at the price. So did I. We ended up with well outfitted Limited. We traded in an 02 Audi A4 for it.
We know it’s not a Wrangler, it’s a Fiat 500X in Jeep clothing, but it was the only vehicle able to make it up a snow covered 13% grade at a family gathering in Maine last Thanksgiving. We ended up ferrying tire chains up and down the hill to get the rest of the brood up and out.
I had originally named it Grandma’s Lil Brick but that got changed to Grandma’s Lil Goat after that episode. The fact that it has road manners and we’ve seen up to 35 mpg doesn’t hurt. We’ve done several 12 hour drives in it. Six hours in my LJ feels like four on my Ural.
I don’t see it as a Wrangler wannabe but filling a niche in the Jeep line up. Just curious, I guess.
