Cute. :)

I never really grasped the rationality behind a part-time only four-wheel drive system. (Just had the rear end of the Patriot skid a little and the rear wheels kick in less than an hour ago. :) Yay for the Patriots AWD!) That is one thing I don't like so much about the Wrangler. I suppose the idea originally was to make it cheaper, but since the damn things cost about 55...75k€ new here in Finland anyway, I'd like to see one with a full-time setting. I'd still love to own one, one of these days, though... Would make a great summer vehicle! (Not to mention a sweet off-roading rig, of course. :) )

(Or, I could remove the doors and hack off the roof from the Patriot, get a custom soft top done... :D Naah. Wouldn't pass vehicle inspection. :icon_rolleyes: Nonetheless, looking forward to seeing the first Patriot to get the "doorless (and hopefully roofless, too) XJ"-treatment.)
