I’m wondering since Scout says that they’re going to be a brand and not a model if they’re gonna eventually come out with all different kinds of SUVs like this. I think it’s awesome. I hope they do. Lots of people with a bunch of kids would be very interested in a wagon I’m sure.

If I was the product manager of Scout I would be saying to the team that we should bring back the Station wagons and wagons.

While I think a 2-door with removable top would be awesome, what does the market say?
I'm genuinely curious, do the 2-door Broncos and Wranglers sell well or does Ford and Jeep just keep them around because of the history and they don't want to lose their faithful customers?

I see many more 4-doors in both models than I do 2-door models out on the road.

I'd like a smaller Traveler with full removable top/doors. If it's 4 doors, great...if it's 2 doors, I'm not sure I would buy in because of my family and usage. What if it was made to look like a 2-door with suicide rear doors?

I fully agree with you!!! Sorry, I'm tired of looking at 4 doors.

The FJ Cruiser had small suicide doors which made it a 4-door. They added the extra doors because of the "Chicken Tax" that prevents most Asian nations from selling 2-door pickups and 2-door SUVs. This gave rise to the 4-door SUV popularity. Japanese SUVs in the late 80s shifted from 2-door to 4-door. American OEMs took notice and stopped selling 2-door Blazers and made a lot of money on 4-door. However, sales continued a bit longer on 2-door Wranglers and Broncos (despite the long break in making Broncos). The Scout being a so-called heritage brand needs to build a 2-doors as people only remembered them as 2-doors.

As much as I can agree with that a 2 door should be released already. The issue is that Scout probably have looked at Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler 2 door sales numbers and probably noticed that 4doors sell more. Being that its a “new” Company you normally want to work with the market that is strongest which happens to be 4 doors.

It would be best perhaps to show the "2-door" in the next 6 months with a statement saying this will come out "after" 4-door.

Everytime i have asked questions to Jamie at Scout he has told me that the next 12-18 months before anything new with a few things here and there.
