    I talked with a buddy who works from a Chrystler dealership in Florida and he seems to think they are going to start around $20K and go up. Only time will tell.

    I can't see a base model starting at $20k. It seems as though they would miss there target audience with that price. I mean you can get a base model sport wrangler for that price and get 22mpg.

    This^^^ ! While they may do it anyway, it wouldn't make any sense to me. The sub-compact market IS the Kia Soul audience and that's what the Renegade is targeting. Sure, the Renegade has 4WD but I honestly don't think that most people in this target audience will buy one because of it. But then, what do I know.

    if it really is starting at 20k you can kiss the success of this goodbye. i really do feel like the price will make or break the renegade

    Agreed. Once you hit the $20-25k market, there are other competing all wheel drive vehicles that may do a better job of fitting certain needs.

    Eddie,

    I hope you get some price and mileage numbers at Sema. The wait is killing me...
