    Probably 50% of Wranglers I see are driven by sorority girls, so I wouldn't feel too bad about ruining the Renegade's cred. :P

    Even most Wranglers serve the majority of their lives as grocery-getters. Just try going out for offroad driving sometime. I definitely want to see if this vehicle has the capabilities to match its looks and name!

    You may not fit the image the Jeep marketers want to sell, but you are probably within their prime customer base. Look at the Honda Element. That was designed and marketed as a youth activity vehicle, yet older buyers made up a huge portion of it's customers. Lets face it, even in Trailhawk version, this thing is about as macho as a Barbie Jeep. People will buy it because it looks cute. Who likes cute cars, that make them feel young, and have the money to buy brand new, relatively unpractical cars. Men want more macho. Young families need more room.
