Wow! Jeep has a new model called the "Patriot"

[petronius]

I've always known that SUVs were named after places the driver had never seen (Yukon, Denali) or things the driver had never been (Explorer, Navigator), but the 'Patriot' is pure freeper-bait...

The only honest SUV name ever was the Suburban.

1. LOL.. does it look like this??

[petronius]

4. Oddly enough, no

It appeared to be designed for people who never go off road, and who would be more bothered by missing a trip to Starbuck's than by sending other people's kids off to war...

6. Weird.. does this mean the Maibatsu Monstrosity is just around the corner?

(Apologies to those who never played Grand Theft Auto... )

[petronius]

9. I really need to get that game...

Of course, I need a new computer first, but I really need new games.

2. I found myself, for the first time I could remember, rolling my eyes at a car

when on the back it had a dealer sticker that said XXX (small letters) PATRIOT (big letters - all i could read easily) Cheverolet.

3. They named a Jeep after Mel Gibson?

[GoneOffShore]

5. No, that would be

The Holocaust Denier model jeep.

[petronius]

8. Actually, I'm kind of surprised they've missed out on the "RoadWarrior" moniker

It seems a natural.

"Holocaust Denier" doesn't quite have the ring, but I bet the Chrysler 'I own this town, and I'll have your motherfucking job!' model would find a market...

10. and you can get the "Sugar Tits" model for the wife.

[petronius]

11. OK, that probably _would_ sell!

:spray:

7. *snort*

:hi:

12. A dumb name for a weenie "not-really-a-real Jeep." Some marketing asshole

who doesn't have a clue managed to slip another fast one through the system.

[petronius]

15. Except that a whole bunch of other assholes sans clue

will buy one, and feel like they've done something for both their manhood and their country...

[Redstone]

16. BUT: Everyone ELSE will know what assholes they are. And eventually, someone will tell

them just that. There's always justice in the end.

13. Man, that's great.

14. I shall call it by its full name

The Jeep Scoundrel in its Last Refuge.
