The problem with so many cool cheap cars is that they don't look like something a dude should drive. The new Mini is a great example. It's a fantastic car, drives great and has a clever interior. But when you imagine walking a lady friend over to your Mini, horsepower, gas mileage and handling start sounding a lot less important.
The Wrangler had that same problem. Before the current re-design, what was once a many bastion of rock climbing, dirt spitting, shit kicking military might, looked like a Britney Spears video
prop (which it was, in her first video). The extra-big and round headlights and rounded hood made it too puppydog and not-enough 'what curb'. So, I think it's worth opening the first Cool Cheap Cars by saluting the Wrangler and sharing a website about a company that sticks Hemi engines in them. I've driven the sad, 2.5L version and spent the whole time looking up to the nice, 4.0L Sport or X models. A Hemi just makes those sound sad. The 2.5L can be had for under $18K and that makes it a Cool (relatively) Cheap (sorta) Car.American Expedition Vehicles Jeep Wrangler Hemi
