Plymouth and not Colin Chapman with Lotus? His approach was "Simplify, then add lightness." That's the epitome of "less is more", at least in my book.

Maybe Plymouth from a "keep it cheap" philosophy, as in "less is cheaper."
Plymouth "Because we cant afford a Dodge" philosophy?
Plymouth as in drag racing/sales philosophy. Big engines with less options to keep weight down. Stick to the task at hand.

“Win on Sunday, sell on Monday”

Jeep should do the same. The mission has always been superior off road capability. STOP larding up Rubicons with crap to try to make it an on road luxury mall crawler. Leave those items on the options list for those that want them.

Decent sized simple engines that use regular gas/diesel, not a pop bottle sized base engine or a 20-30k upcharge engine that both need premium fuel.

Jeep sold now
I would not say no to a "back to basics" with still a manual available and way less gizmos. But that's probably just me.

Racing period. My 69 GTX wasn’t a drag racer. It had one of the 500 production (ser # HP 36?) race engines needed for 69 “homolgonation” rules to race as “stock”. Power nothing except to the ground, still accelerating at 170 mph when the front end lifted….. dumbass here had the torsion bars cranked up for the cool at the time “Gasser Look”. …. Aircraft mechanic should have known aerodynamics better. 🙄

The 60’s front end raised gasser look was definitely better than the 70’s traction bar rear raised look.

There’s a ‘59 Corvette around here somewhere that was my father’s build after he got out of the service. It has a non original 327 and blocks under the front coil springs for that gasser look he saw in Hotrod Magazine in the early’60’s. Agreed, not good for performance but looks damn cool considering the time it was built. I’ll never change it 👊🏼

  • Modernized Infotainment & Telemetry: The rugged, hose-out dashboard layout will be completely overhauled with larger screens and integrated, real-time satellite trail mapping systems. [1]

that means they will be watching you more closely and monitor anything said or done inside and outside of their Jeep (since you don't own it any longer) I'll pass on all that "new improved" Big Brother spying

It's only going to get worse, buy what safety they want and freedom you give up.

Hard pass, even my '22 has too much

We didn’t have any cars with the gasser look, but there were a lot of cars with the back end ski high in the air with traction bars. :CWL:

I remember doing that for a short time. The handling went to 💩
