Today in Joystiq: February 1, 2008
We're going a bit retro -- as in, last November -- for this one. It's a Jeep Renegade 2008 concept that looks curiously like a certain Covenant-crushing vehicle sans turret. (Via Engadget) Check out the highlights for today:

That looks cool. That's what I want, more cars that look like toys.
Poisoned Al @ Feb 3rd 2008 10:11AM
Yes, vote me down in defense of your huge, soulless multinational companies who have trained you to eat shit and like it. Do it, FOR AMERIKKKAAAA!
samfish @ Feb 2nd 2008 12:19AM
Wow, I didn't think it was possible for a car to look that ugly.
chris @ Feb 2nd 2008 6:36AM
By modern Jeep standards, that thing is actually half decent.
Poisoned Al @ Feb 2nd 2008 10:12AM
The only thing going for American cars was that they were good looking. Sure you couldn't turn corners or stop, the mileage was shit, in insides were horrible and it would fall apart within in a week... BUT you looked cool. American car companies can't even manage that now, and they still can't figure out why they are getting raped by the Japanese and Europeans.

lol cut the crap about american cars, its 2008 not 1988.
Poisoned Al @ Feb 2nd 2008 5:10PM
Yeah, today they're shit AND ugly.
vidGuy @ Feb 2nd 2008 1:15AM
Agreed. I wouldn't drive that thing even if it got 200MPG.
mr nimblewick @ Feb 2nd 2008 1:44AM
Boy, those tires look custom order. Must be expensive to replace.

I demand a working mario kart from the major auto makers if this gets released. It better fire koopa shells too!
Gavin @ Feb 2nd 2008 5:41AM
Concept vehicles are just that...a concept.
They pretty much never get actually produced.
BIGGEN @ Feb 2nd 2008 6:47AM
golly! thank you Captain Obvious!!
just messin'.
i do wish more car companies would take risks with their designs. especially domestic. i was a Dodge/Chrysler fan for years, but now own a Subaru. they just seem to want to make something different looking (not to mention their cars can last up to 300,000 miles).
James @ Feb 2nd 2008 7:05AM
What, really?
Sam406 @ Feb 2nd 2008 9:49AM
Why is there a "+" and a "-" between the front and back wheels?
Is it the volume? I'm curious now...

jamma @ Feb 2nd 2008 10:53AM
i just hope the steering wheel doesn't explode!
Commander Manager of Thrill @ Feb 2nd 2008 11:31AM
This car is so American.
A real disappointment.
Lorben @ Feb 2nd 2008 11:37AM
Looks like a puma.
Savok @ Feb 2nd 2008 11:56AM
Someone needs to show a picture of that to Jeremy Clarkson, just to watch his head go pop.
Mr.ESC @ Feb 2nd 2008 12:33PM
It doesn't looks that bad but serisouly I would only consider it if it was a flying car(2008 and still no flying cars,BTF was a lie,a lie I tell you).
And if anyone wants to know there is a new yu-gi-oh abridged movie in yu-gi-oh abridged series official site.
doctorraro @ Feb 3rd 2008 2:39PM
Actually, there's real working concept car called volkswagen concept T, which looks a lot like the halo car and it's been around for 3 years now. Just google it.
