They're so freaking popular. Hey honey, good effort out there on the field hockey team...here's a 40 thousand dollar Jeep.

| My 18-year-old DD is pining for one of these. I didn't know it was a thing. I'm not buying her this or any other car. |

| No, that's not really a thing. But it sounds like maybe you are butthurt about something. |

| Yes! In my neck of the woods, all the girls want a Jeep Wrangler. When one of the moms (who is considering buying one for her daughter getting a license in January) told me it was $40K my jaw dropped. |

| Jeeps have the highest particulate emissions per gallon of gas of any auto maker by a wide margin. I would never buy one. |

| I know that kids like the look of jeeps in general but that one is a super fancy, pretentious jeep. How much would that set you back? |

| My 40 year old sister wanted a Wrangler since she was a teen and finally got one a few years ago. I don't see the appeal at all. It's super uncomfortable and always feels dirty. |

Of course they do. But they appeal to this generation of kids who think "helping the environment" means not using plastic water bottles. |

MSRP mid 20k but you know you NEVER pay MSRP. |

AGREE! Had this as a rental car in Nantucket over the summer. Hated it! |

Yes, they are. Go find a new one for less than $35K, find one a spoiled brat wants for less than $40K. |

You're sadly mistaken if you think you can buy a new, 4WD, Wrangler Unlimited for $25K. Maybe 10-15 years ago they were going for that, not now. These things are hotter than pistol and they're charging accordingly. |
