Re: New Eagle?
I hate to say it but I would drive that. Looks like a cross between a Focus SVT and a Golf R.

Re: New Eagle?
Hmm, very interesting. Although I think it would need a different look to really work here in the states. I mean, Americans are certainly catching on to hatch backs (Finally). I have loved them, well, forever. And I have owned two myself ('05 Focus ZX3 and currently a '14 Fiesta).
Its a good looking car, and provided it competed well with the likes of the Fiesta, Accent 5dr, Golf, etc, I would totally drive it as a gas saver. I really like Fiat's multi-air engines, they are very efficient. A car like that could go a LONG ways to helping Jeeps fleet fuel economy, meaning they can keep selling the Wrangler.

Re: New Eagle?
I'd love to see them bring something like that to market... even though I'd never be able to get one, what with kids and all to put in back seats.

Re: New Eagle?
I love it! It seems so wrong for a jeep, but im a huge hatchback fan and this one looks interesting to say the least. I would love to see a small turbo diesel come to the US too!

I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but UGH!

Re: New Eagle?
I hate the styling. But I am also a fan of hatchbacks since forever. I'd save a pile of money and just buy a Mustang II to put j/y Audi bits under.
Having seller's regret.
