Frank - any official word on pricing yet? Or is it just <(arm*leg)

 

[JPFreek1]

Ha! No official word yet but I suspect that it will be competitively priced for all this vehicle has to offer. Either Scott or I will keep you posted as more information pertaining to pricing is released.

Only my wife can tell you the contortions I was going through to get the phone out of my pocket while driving down the road and simultaneously checking out all the details of the ER Jepp going by. Ouch! AND no pic!

I still have a strained muscle in my @##!!!!

cheers

A little bit larger view of the deployment....

 

[CLynn85]

I wonder if they'd sell it as a "shell" model.

I think that vehicle would fit the adventure needs of ~60% of the people on this forum.

Can we try to guess a price? let's have a contest...the closest one wins a T-Shirt or something...

I would say around $80K....

Wish there were some interior shots, but man that thing is hot! Love the green too. The original press release said it would come in under $100K, we'll see.
