You mean more people littering our wilderness with broken down Jeep Cross-Overs and clogging up our trails with drivers who can't held but get high centered on a pebble or freak out when the wheels spin in some mud?
Seriously, is there an onslaught of "broken down jeep cross-overs" on the trails you frequent? If you are on the same trails as the new Renegade thats your own problem. Regarding people freaking out because they hit a skidplate or spun a tire in mud, there's plenty of that here already. I just look past those threads.
I mean I guess driving OVER them gives me a bit more traction... but it just seems like a very bad thing for the environment. :hatsoff:
Also the CAFE Standards are the one of the worst things to be forced upon the automotive industry, its going to force far too much change and use of complicated technology that will make current repair bills seems like a joke. Most mechanics don't even know how to use an Oscilloscope much less diagnose or work on half the stuff that comes in cars these days, Chrysler is supposedly coming out with the first WiFi car in 2015, no physical connections between modules (and with Chrysler's stellar track record that means it'll be foolproof!) many technicians have trouble with standard CAN networks that have been in cars for a decade.
I didn't say CAFE standards were a good thing. But its obvious they arent going anywhere and EVERY brand is having to innovate and design around meeting said requirements. I agree they are a huge burden and ruining the automotive industry with unreal expectations.
