I really don't think Jeeps are bad vehicles. In fact, they are very capable, super modable, bad @$$ off road vehicles. There is no question about that. I have several friends who love them, and they are not elitist @$$holes.
But, you know what it really is for me? During my short, 15 minute drive into work today, I counted 7 Jeep Wranglers. Had I been paying attention, I probably could have counted 10 Jeep Cherokees. And I probably missed a few of each.
Its just like Apple I-PODs. I really have no problem with the device itself. The interface is good, it plays MP3s, there are million accessories for it, but I think my Creative Labs Zen Vision, is just as good, if not better. I feel the same about my VX. Not to mention, I counted only 1 VX on my way to work, and I was in it.
