I'm going to go outside and take my town down and drive in the snow. Any motorized top would freeze and cause more issues than its worth. IMHO...
I agree.!!!
Some of these new convertibles are controlled by the computer in the vehicle so this may not even be an option to do. Ive seen some other european models that wouldnt let ya drop the top if its 32 or below. If its 33 then it may work. But if its reading 32 on the temp gauge in the car, forget about that top going anywhere if its automated. Crazy!!!!! And definitely not for me.
I like my Jeep for the simplicity it was. Imo, what they are doing is starting to glorify it which is going to attract a different crowd of buyers that will want other things like a cadillac or similar suv has to offer. A few years ago, My parents saw my 2 door and my mom loved it. She got a 4 door version. She really liked everything about it but she is a senior and complained of how cold it was in the winter (with a hard top). I told her to turn the heat up but she didnt like hearing the fan run so loud. They ended up trading the jeep in for a '14 Ford Explorer after 6 months to a year of ownership.
If this new model has a sun roof thru out the hard top imo they are just mixing it up with what other luxury suv's have to offer. I remember alot of ppl saying about how glorified the JK became. Its slowly being transformed into something it never was suppose to be. A JEEP was something that stood out from the rest of the crowd. It was a vehicle that was unique & simple.
They did a fine concept with the CJ 66 that resembled the CJ 6. Why cant they just follow suit? It seems like they are starting to sway from the originality and simplicity & cater to the regular crowd.
Even the Jeep Wave has dissipated in my neck of the woods since the soccer moms have gotten behind the wheel.
