Italian automaker Fiat, is building a small off-road vehicle similar to the old Isuzu Amigo Sport. It will have a Jeep-like grill and even have the Jeep emblems on it.
It is supposed to arrive next spring, and rumors are it will go to tight bumpy places that the bigger Cherokee might have a little trouble with. Other rumors are it will have an optional diesel engine and manual transmission. Jeep's official web-site alleges the vehicle will have an excellent crawl-ratio, ground clearance, and buttons on the dashboard to select the best traction. I thing it looks like an old Isuzu Amigo Sport, which was briefly popular back in the day. Similar vehicles are already on the market. Range Rover has a tiny Ute, and Subaru has the CrossTek. I just can not see spending $ 30,000 plus tax and collision insurance on a vehicle to get all muddy, scratched and sprinkled inside with bat guano. Right ? David Locklear
