Thinking about getting a Patriot for my DD. Can't beat the price for a 4x4. To bad I can't hardly find on in my area. Patriot's must be selling like hotcakes.

I'm not sure if they are selling fast or just haven't been delivered yet. We've had ours for a month to the day and I've yet to see another on the road or on any dealer lots in this area.

I'm only an hour from Belvidere where they are assembled (I used to live 1/2 mile from the factory for 9 years when they built Neons). You'd think we'd have more around here.

Jeep had one at the Dayton Auto Show but you couldn't get in it. Thought that was weird.

Hi there, I live just outside of Dayton Ohio and have been waiting patiently for the dozens of Jeep dealerships around here to get a patriot. The last dealership I visited didn't have one, and the dealer tried to convince me to get a 06 Commander instead! I told her that America wants the Patriot and to call me when she gets one in.

I've been driving the begeezes out of my 97 Suzuki Sidekick 4dr 1.8L. Its a fantastic lilttle truck and has seen me through countless adventures. It pulls a 6x12 box trailer (barely). It kicks butt in the snow and is small and nimble enough to take on trails that were meant only for hiking. It's getting old and after very extensive research, only a Partiot can replace it.

It'll be an excellent upgrade from my trusty little Zuke, the Patriot is an SUV that I and willing to buy new, and intend to keep until it withers into rust.

Same situation here... My dealer just hasn't gotten in very many (maybe 2?) and the ones he did get were both sold the same day!
