We still have jeeps here. They have the image of being a very macho vehicle, and are regarded highly by many people. But they aren't 'Jeeps' as you lot have.
They are all based on the WW2 Willys model (some of those 'short' Jeeps are still actually running around even today, heavily modified) and are manufactured by Mahindra & Mahindra. Very sturdy vehicles and excellent for off road driving.
