2012 Jeep Wrangler: Kids Like Jeeps

jeep-wrangler-kids.jpg

Took our Wrangler to career day at the local elementary school. Not surprisingly, it was a hit.

I think much of its appeal rested on its lack of a roof, but the ability to climb inside by stepping on the rear tires surely boosted its appeal.

Plenty of kids said they would love to have one when they get their licenses. So much for kids not caring about cars anymore.

How much black tire grease did they get on them?

Jeeps are like giant toys, so why wouldn't a kid want one (and what kid didn't at some point)? You can climb in and out, no roof, no doors, you can drive over anything you want, they just scream "summer break, no rules, no responsibilities, just have fun".

Jeeps are cool as evidenced by the kids' reaction. also very American. good for you for helping the next gen meet a great American vehicle.

kids outside in shorts/short sleeves in January; couldn't do that here in MA, the school would get whacked for child abuse.
