Na, j/king.
What I'd imagine is that you've got soccer moms who think it is cool to own a Jeep.
So they buy a Wrangler....whatever they buy.
I've only driven/rode in rental, other people's and off road Jeeps. NONE of them rode/handled on the road like a standard SUV. I know some of the Wranglers/etc can be decked out a little inside - however, generally they are bland.
I'm of the opinion that these are traits of a Jeep. To me a REAL Jeep, you clean the interior out with a hose.
However, now your soccer mom is all pissed off and that all gets relayed to consumer reports. It's like buying a bolt action for your semi automatic needs. Great gun, just wrong purpose.
I've seen this happen to more then one person I know. From the Wife and I's point of view we've never seen/test drove a Jeep we'd use as a family vehicle either. To clarify, the money is better spent on something else that we prefer the looks/features of as opposed to the Jeep products.
Again though, my opinion is that Jeeps have a niche they serve best. Their secondary concern probably is and SHOULD be the soccer mom/family SUV.
