Rumor is that it is going to make production but it will be based on the upcoming TKL platform.

Just curious why you say that? Seems to me that the Rescue concept is one of the few vehicles that jeep has come out with in the last few years that still holds true to the original idea of a jeep. Solid axles, good moter should even be a highly capable offroader.Jamieinnh said:Right after all the Cherokee's ever made are dead, and they are none in the Junk yard to revive, then I will vote for the Rescue.

This is a step in a new direction for Jeep, which has prided itself on “Trail Rated” vehicles able to travel California’s famed Rubicon Trail. This Jeep is a car-based vehicle, built on the same chassis as the upcoming Neon replacement known as the 2007 Dodge Caliber -- your first clue that the production version of the Jeep Patriot is unlikely to carry a “Trail Rated” badge.
Don’t let the rugged styling fool you. Aimed at competitors like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4, the Jeep Patriot concept is designed to be an inexpensive, entry-level vehicle primarily for on-road use.
If given a choice between cute-utes, I'd take the patriot over a RAV4 or a Honda. The optional 2.0 Diesel and AWD would at least make it comfortable while travelling logging roads. The independent suspension and lack of a true low range would be a downside on the trail, but the adjustable AWD features would make up for it somewhat in the same way a Freelander can be wheeled. I still think its better looking than the "Liberty". Now if we could just get them to name it something that's less emotionally-laden than 'Liberty' or 'Patriot'. What's next for them, a concept car called 'American Dream', 'Anti-Terrorist' or 'Semper Fi'?BCParker said:Jeep really needs to stop building things based off of dodge platforms.
2007 patriot.
not the ugliest jeep I've seen lately, but what's with the 2.0l and 2.4L engines?
Don't we already have the Liberty??
sounds like they might be building jeeps in IL now.
