Default Jeep in car and driver

Today i was reading the Car and Driver for January 2012 and i came accross some interesting jeep facts just thought you guys would like to hear them. Sales 2010: 207,546 and 2011: 303,793. Thats up 46% from 2010 to '11. Also it says the Wrangler and the Unlimited have some of the lowest Collision Insurance claims.

Yeah i heard sales went up over 40%, it's great to know the market is expanding for the wrangler. And i'm glad to hear that we're some of the best drivers! lol

The least claims, not the least damage!

If I get a dent on the Jeep I am less likely to try and get it fixed than I would on my wife's Subaru. Is that the same for everyone? No, but Jeeps are the one vehicle that some dents and scrapes don't matter as much.

Totally. My Jeep has a bent fender panel and both ends of the front bumper are jacked up. If my car had the same damage I'd have it repaired immediately but I'm ok with it on the Jeep.

The collision number is low not because people dont claim every ding...its because due to its simple design they are cheap and easy to repair.
