My wife and I are a bit longer in the tooth yet really like the Renegade and are seriously considering buying one, except ... The option packaging and color choices.
I like all that the trail hawk has except the "boy racer" red trim and solid black interior.
My wife liked the comfy ride and features of the Limited 4x4 but the limited is as limited as the name suggests. If you want all black interior you can get almost any exterior color, except Orange and Yellow. If you want the lighter interior colors your left with the dull exterior colors. and in either case you can't get the 4.23 final drive ratio.
A lot of people like all black interiors, and good for them, but you offer other colors but then deny those colors to only certain models, limited exterior colors, and to certain trim levels ... why? Even if the dealers are wary of color choices it should be available to special order status cars.
Had it been on the lot, I would be driving the orange trailhawk with the tan leather interior and brushed nickel trim pieces, or my wife would be driving the yellow limited 4x4 with light gray leather interior, but seeing as how the only choice for the exterior color or model we want is black interior, we went home without a new Renegade.
People buying the Limited or TH are a wider demographic of tastes and expect many more choices, although it worked when the automobile was some new fangled device, the old adage "You can have any color you want ... as long as it's black" just doesn't work in today market place.
Also, please look into why all the cars smell like days old fish. Really, every new renegade on the lot had a bad fish smell.
