After having the only Patriot in my town for months, all of a sudden, they're popping up everywhere. In April, I saw a nice, orange Limited at the grocery store, then a month or so later, a black Sport parked at the bank. Since then, there are at least four or five more. Compass is well represented, too. Seen about four of them in town. Apparently the local dealership has changed ownership, and seem to be pushing the Pat. For months, there was one Pat or Compass on the lot at any given time. Now there are about five. Nice to have some company.
 
There are now 3 patriots and 1 compass in my apt complex. Makes me want to sneak out there at night and paint there mufflers black:) Then when they come out, ill just yell "SUPRISE!!!!"
 
I see alot of Pats around especially in parking lots. It really is popular, even the compass too. But I haven't seen any 'modded' ones around new rims or chromed up tho. I can't wait to get my bumper patriot stickers ordered from ebay.
 
Just think how many of them you would see if the people at Chrysler actually spent some money marketing them properly!
Advertising for the MKs is strangely scarce. It really makes you wonder why they don't run a few more (and better) ads.
 
i see approximately 2-3 patriots/compasses per day here in the OC :)
 
There's been a big surge in sales here in San Bernardino County. Before I bought my Pat in April, I didn't see but 1 on the road. I had to go to the dealer just to see what it looked like in person. Now I see them, maybe 1-2, every day.

I have a feeling it's the $2.99 gas deal. Which makes me a little irritated!:mad: I bought just two weeks before they started that deal.

Don't feel so bad, I bought mine a few weeks before they started the Lifetime Warranty!

As for the $2.99 gas deal, I don't know. While I'm sure its increased some foot traffic to Chrysler showrooms, I think its the great combination of value, versatility, capability, and not to mention, styling thats helped Patriot sales take off.

When I bought my 08' at the end of Aug/07', there were absolutely no buying incentives available (i.e., no gas deals, financing incentives, etc). I basically paid full price. The only freebie I managed was a set of moulded mud flaps. To add insult to injury, the same vehicle today costs about $3,000 less than last year due to the current Canadian Pricing adjustment on most new vehicles, which has effectively lowered MRSP due to the strong Canadian dollar. In the past, Cdn MRSP was about 20% higher than the U.S. list. I also realize that when one buys at the very beginning of a model year, incentives are rare, due to the fact that dealers are focusing their selling efforts on getting rid of the previous year's inventory. BTW, the Lifetime Warranty is still not offered in Canada. Oh well...in the end, I still luv my Patster. :blah::blah:
 
Very sharp! I haven't seen many khaki Pats out here, there was one in the dealer's yard and I liked the color. I am starting to see more of them.
 
Well not many but i´ve seen 2 Patriots in last 4 months in our town.
On the other side i see VW Tiguans everyday...
 
Your not Kidding!

I live near Mines Falls in N.H. (its a park) and I must see at least 4 a day drive past my apt. The weirdest one I have seen yet was yesterday; it was the most diffrent color blue I have seen. It looks nice but almost makes the Patriot look like a matchbox car..
 
For the first time in around 4 months, I saw someone else's Patriot today. I drove into an underground parking and one of the few empty places was next to a red Patriot, and I parked there for over an hour. It was a pretty sight seeing 2 Patriots together. The other car looked neat, inferno red is a great color choice for this car.

On the other hand, I see Compasses every week or so.
