the jeep was a single purpose vehicle.
what it had going for it:
go almost any where. cheap, light, small, easy to fix.
problems:
terrible at speed, incredibly ineffecient, uncomfortable, and unsafe
they only fixed the few things that were actually a benifit. now it's expensive, heavy, big, and hard to repair, with all the same problems.
of course the kept their value each new generation got worse
