Sorry guys..no more pics I was told that they did not appreciate the photos.... I thought I took good ones!!!!!!!!! At least they know who took their food.

Jason

I really appreciate the photos and info.

The one with the lower fascia off is very good as I was really curious about what is under there... I can really some potential for a new front bumper with a slot for a winch!

attention moderator please delete my pics

Jason

I cant imagine why DCX is being such a jerk about it. They certainly don't have anything to gain by pissing off their biggest fans. There are plenty of other suv's out there I can buy if they want to be that way.

If you noticed he said by request, it wasn't a demand. Also DCX is just doing what every other car company does. I remember when GM went crazy about the new camero pictures leaked over the internet. I don't understand why they request these pictures to be removed, we all know what the Patriot looks like so it isn't anything new.

 

[tommcg]

wow. very disappointing, dcx. you want us to wait for media coverage of this press event? i read several car blogs, and only one of them, a dedicated jeep site, ever mentioned the compass press event. i had to search youtube to find just a couple of videos from it. honestly, no one really cares that the patriot is having a press event this week except for a few loyal guys huddled around this site, so why would you be jerks about it?

some car companies are faking real world, behind-the-scenes shots like this (see Buick's Tiger Woods video with the "angry" security guard) just to get grassroots coverage out to the masses, and dcx is apparently still living in the 90's. C'mon Jason Vines, you know better than that.

This isnt a leak. The cars are in production, these photos were taken at a dealership, and they are there for a press release. Its big differance.

Jeep Marketing is short sighted....Nahh, just plain stupid!

I have been somewhat disappointed and dismayed to see that Jeep Marketing has not openly participated in this forum. When the Caliber was in pre-launch there was a specific Dodge Marketing person assigned to the main Caliber board and there were regular informational postings from him. Especially when it came to correcting wildly off base information and speculation. Wonder why Jeep did not do this? I thought Dodge did a really good job with that tactic. Kind of offered something concrete to that community. I thought it was rather small and somewhat pathetic that Jeep put the lid on jdemonto and his efforts to SELL vehicles for them. Shame on you Jeep Marketing. New blood is needed in that department!

Thanks for the pics Jason!!!!!!!!!

Why do you have to be so lame DCX??? And where are my diesels?

 

[jeepxk]

Maybe Jason needs to protect his job here. I don't know what Jason does for the dealership but I can only imagine the pressure he could get from some big shots at DCX if they discovered something being posted they didn't like. Jason was never shy about who he is or where he works. Jason, if I were you I wouldn't identify myself on these sites for awhile.
Keep feeding us info and go by the name "Bob" or something.

That is true, I can see what you are saying and it is very disappointing that Jeep Marketing isn't embracing this forum like they did with the caliber forum. Times have changed and it would be nice if car companies realized these forums exists and use them as change to get in touch with there customers. What better chance do they have to get in touch with the people who buy, own, and use these vehicles.

Whose to say that marketing is the one with the heavy hand in this case?

It is 'in production' but not officially introduced... sort of like peeking at your presents before you were supposed to open them... I can see how the one putting them out there would like the first intro to be on their terms and don't fault them.

I want to see one just as bad as anyone else here... trust me on this...

Jason, Thanks again for what you were able to share with the fans of the Patriot here on Jeeppatriot.com!

 

[unclejjg]

Maybe we can't get pics.....but verbal updates would be cool. If you can still keep us up to date on things we'd appreciate it.

 

[widowmaker]

I think I've seen enough

Not the pictures...but you know what I mean

 

[BigDuke6]

Kinda wierd that they started building and shipping Patriots before the press event. The JK and Compass were introduced first to the press, then production started. Oh well...

 

[Jdemonto]

re:Misunderstanding

I understand why they are not so happy, Its because the photos on the tow Truck might not look so good??? Or the Media Embargo which is now at risk because of my information that I have shared here. I wish DCX had told us ahead of time instead of being mad with us??? I will not run away and hide, everyone knows who I am.

Jason

 

[BigDuke6]

So, without giving away anything that would get ya in trouble from 'the man', how is the press event going in your opinion? I would assume everyone is having fun.

 

[Jdemonto]

Don't know!!!!
