As your body is thrust against the passenger-side window of the powerful new Jeep Rubicon, the driver doesnΆt stop or slow down his explanation of the car. HeΆs been driving the obstacle course outside the Javits Center all day, and on this harrowing 30 degree wedge, heΆs well aware of the impossibility of actually flipping over this automobile. He explains about the 3.6 liter V6 and disconnected sway bar, and you would really like to ask him what the sway bar is, but youΆre already on top of a patch of incredibly uneven ground that jostles the brain and makes questions seem silly—this car is a serious car. It is not your 2002 Toyota Corolla.
This car is incredibly capable (capable of tackling the imposing obstacles that have been made specifically for it to conquer, but still pretty effinΆ cool). The final ascent over a 35 degree incline, while the soft strains of a Keith Urban song hum inside of the incredibly quiet car, feel like youΆre approaching the top of a rollercoaster, and when you do smoothly arrive at the top, you have a beautiful view of midtown. And then the “hill descent feature” takes over, the driver horrifyingly points out that he doesnΆt even have his foot on the brake, and you softly glide to the bottom of the fake hill. Deep breath.
