I don't remember. I believe it was Jalopnik or 4Wheeler. In an article about the Roxor it was stated that they were gauging interest based off the Roxor and if there was enough the Thar would be looked at as well.
It would just be nice to have additional options. There really aren't any now. Late 80s-00s there were: Bronco, Samurai, Sportage, Tracker, Rodeo/Amigo etc.
I'd like to see it as an option. The soccer mom's etc may not go for it which is a large portion of jeep customers. I'm sure plenty of people would go for it however who want a true jeep or a lower cost point for a jeep. True jeepers, teens first car, fun family vehicle, cabin/beach house...
There was a leaked document that stated heavy rebates for the JK, and looked like it would start March/April.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chrysler cancelled the plan. Let's skyrocket the JL price so the outgoing model seems like a sale....
Chevy, Ford, Honda etc all put large rebates on their...
There is talk that Mahindra is considering the idea of selling the Thar in the USA. The Thar is basically a true CJ. If this happens it will be a huge blow to Chrysler. I'd buy a Thar in a heartbeat. They have held the Patent since WWII. More jeep than Fiat...
Have you driven both? I test drove a JLU Rubi and it rode like shit. Suspension was stiff and harsh, the steering reacted funny, and the wheel constantly seesawed back and forth.
They were using your Jeep for test drives or a worker took it home. I wouldn't be happy about that since it was a custom order. Bad business on the dealerships part. The most miles I've ever seen on one of my custom orders was 7...
Ahh so I bet it is a golden ticket. Only a select few get them if so.
I have bought 5 jeeps in the last 3 years and always get Jeep emails. I didn't get this one so it must not be for everyone unfortunately.
Ford.com shows the F150 and F250 at $1,395. $50 cheaper and the Ford takes up twice the space on the Rig.
The fact is Chrysler is screwing their customers with the JL.
I think the February sales numbers are misleading. Since a new model came out dealerships were purchasing stock. This likely accounts for the increase.
Is there a source for the delay or just a guess?
They definitely left the JK around for a while knowing they planned on screwing their customers with the JL pricing. Used it as a transition piece. Just like how they waited a bit and added $500 to the invoice pricing and now have the highest...
This is a scaled down version of the Mahindra Thar. The Thar is basically a true CJ. If they offer a street legal Roxor or Thar in the US, I will buy one in a heartbeat! Stripped down, real jeep.
Chrysler is screwing their customers. 4-6k increase in price over the JK with the JL. Now raised...
Ford and Chevy are at $995 for destination on the same size and larger vehicles. Yet Chrysler thinks charging $500 more is ok... That is more than destination for a Super Duty pick-up!
