I'm hoping to revive this topic and maybe get some vibe going around the new Waggy!
I currently own a Maserati Gran Turismo, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, a Durango R/T, and a 1991 jeep grand Wagoneer. Which makes me either a brand enthusiast and a potential smart customer, or just certifiable, depending on who you ask.
These are my list of demands from Jeep for the new Wagoneer, and if they are not met, shall be forced to keep driving my 1991
1. New exterior design that looks like the new Grand Cherokee SRT. A little bigger then the Durango.
2. A top of the line de chromed version.
3. Use the same leather materials as my Maserati, and allow me to choose the stitching and leather color (Yellow stitching on black please)
4. Let me choose any color I want from the jeep fleet, detonator yellow please
5. Keep current head unit and keep improving it
6. 7 seats like the Durango, electric headrests and folding seats
7. Keep the current 8 speed tranny
8. Include the quadra drive and air suspension, locking diffs please
9. Hellcat engine
10. Call the top of the line Wagoneer, Chief, or Willis, or some other retro name to keep the sentimental guys happy
11. No fake wood!
12. No fake wood, ever inside or outside!
13. Ignore the design of the old Waggy, it is a beautiful vehicle, but it was designed in the 60's, the goal is not a Beatle, a mini, or a PT cruiser, but a modern luxury car.
14. Include everything in the top of the line model, just let us choose colors and customize the interior.
15. Keep it under 90K, but not by much
16. Oh yes, and a built in winch, with synthetic rope, and matching JEEP gloves so I can look all spiffy when I'm on a real trail, and need to give a rangy a pull from a ditch
Ferrari made beautiful vehicles that were successful from the 60's on and never once made a retro look, so no fake wood and clumsy design!
And remember, I hold an America Icon hostage, and if jeep doesn't answer my demands, I may need to go off roading in my 23 year old Waggy, and peel all the fake wood off
