A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Woo Hoo!
Ear muffs!
halo is taking over the world
Those would look very much at home here at my place.
I'd tap that.
Why do they never make the cars that I would actually want to buy from them?
Nice.
Does this have a button you can push that will flip it back on its wheels after youve flipped it?
me me me, please!
As an American, I won't buy GM, Chrysler, Ford or pretty much anything by a company from (started in) the good old US of A... but I'll be damned if I wouldn't sell my firstborn for this.
I don't have a firstborn yet, but would be perfectly willing to make one for this vehicle.
make one?..x|
Absolutely. Create, the way it was intended.
After all, Im a callous male who has no concern over the intense psychological effects that would have over the birth mother, and I get to screw without thinking about it again.
So it's win/win! :)
good point. I'm a male too, I understand. It makes perfect sense
Anyone else noticing the [- +] sign below the door?
Is that the gigantic slot for the Li-ion battery??!!
That's probably because Engadget wants us to neg/pos mod it. ;]
@Nick - how 80's of you, Nick. The market today doesn't justify that attitude at all. This year, Toyota has vehicles that fell below Consumer Reports recommendation threshold, and Ford has vehicles in the top of the reliability list. Meanwhile, most of the larger Toyota cars are now made in the USA, Fords are being made in Mexico, Chyslers in Candada, etc. etc.
Welcome to the global marketplace, Nick.
I apologize, sir, for not making my statement completely clear:
Ford, Chevrolet, GM, Etc., are CRAP CARS. The newest models, the ones significantly above my wage thresh hold, may very well have good consumer ratings, but as I am not able to pay for said model years, I could really care less. In my life, I have only ever owned "Japanese" cars, i.e. those made by originally Japanese companies (Honda, Toyota, Nissan being the Big Three) and have owned one Ford. Whereas my first Honda is still running, my Toyota is balls-to-the-wall FRIGHTENING (because it's well past 400k and not even leaking washer fluid) and my Nissan is the most fantastic car I have EVER owned, the Ford is... It was sent to the Big Metal Scrapyard in the sky a month after I purchased it.
If you want to be glib and lecture a 'dumb American' on the merits of the global economy, nee, marketplace, make sure that this American is like most others and doesn't know what he is talking about. I make my rash (and admittedly harshly biased) comments degrading American auto manufacturers because of the shit experiences I have had, seen, and come into contact with in my dealings with the automotive world.
And if any of these American powerhouses isn't posting red in the next five years, color me impressed. Economize that.
This is probably the only american car that I would consider purchasing, besides the Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro concepts.
Definitely cool!!
But No big News, I saw this Jeep concept in the Autoshow 2004,Mexico City.
Well Perhaps it was it's Lil Brother...
I don't remember the lithium hybrid motor thingy...
Y'know, Jeep had a very similar Wrangler concept years ago. It had a full-rubberized interior (easy to clean), and matching color tires.. The doors were the same with the open areas and similar rims. Colored chrome is a good look, but will end up being alloy rims anyways. Make me one Forest green w/camel interiors like my Sahara and I'm good to go.
Just locking myself in.. Move on, nothing to see here..
then again, I do want to add one thing... I hate concept cars.. Rarely does the car companies use anything from the concept cars.. That sucks.
I don't hate the concept cars, I hate the companies for not actually building them.. I think they are ashamed of their creations or something ("nice, but if we actually make it people will laugh at us")
o god.. please Jeep NO!!!! sooooooo ugly. Jeep has gone down hill sense the TJ
da dada da, dada da da
cool
cool
my gut feeling says this may be a HIT despite having not so great look for a 20th century jeep
cool contest
Wtf? Think "electron motor" sounds fancier and more high tech than "electric motor"?
Will it come in Hybrid versions? Since its green already
Unreal!!!
"The Romantics" should sue based on infringement of the group's own image and likeness.
Oh wait...
No rockets???
What a rip-off...
Does it come in black?
Peugeot Hoggar Rip Off!

could i have one?
THIS IS GREAT WOULD LOVE TO WIN
ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM
It runs 82 miles with a single bottle of Mountain Dew.
Does it have lockers and a sway bar disconnect?
It's afun-looking concept, but I don't understand the low-profile tires on an off-road vehicle. The rest of the car is more HMMWV (functional) and not so much Hummer H2 (stupid and unsafe), but the wheels are sort of blinged-out Escalade with spinners.
why is there a +/- button switch on the side of the car? something tells me that this isn't a real car guys...

I hate to tell you, but this wasn't lifted from Halo...it is merely an update of a concept vehicle from 1998. The xbox didn't even exist yet.
Oh! Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie Gimmie! Joygasm!
lol I dont care if it looks like halo or not it's sweet.
Sorry... Not a Jeep. At least they kept the seven hole grill motif...
Goofy low profile tires: Can't air down for better grip, not to mention - where the hell am I supposed to put two spare wheels?
No where near enough suspension travel if the tires are 2 inches from the fenders.
Weird hole in the doors: Good for getting your legs punctured by trail-side items like sage brush, low branches, left over parts from Chevy/Ford/etc. "4x4"s.
Two seater? No room for the wife because the dog will get the passenger seat.
Windshields make lousy roll-over protection... Needs a real roll cage.
No place to mount a winch.
And finally: Waaaay too shiny and looks like it's made of plastic. This thing has garage queen written all over it.
This is coming from the proud owner of a 1976 AMC Jeep Cherokee Sport though, so I'm probably not a good choice of reviewer for anything after 1987. :)
ummm...have none of you hear of the Seventh Column? Bungie (the maker of Halo) is taking over the world! The Seventh Column is their army. One day, you will all bow down to Bungie. muhahah = )
