Fail Rated Jeep Compass?

Seems like the new Jeep Compass had some troubles at the New York Auto Show hill-climb section of the course they were displaying.

To be fair though, it was a wet, heavy incline, metal grate and that just equals leaps and bounds of traction loss.

But when it came down, it came at a certain angle where they had to rock it back and forth to try and get it leveled enough again to which the driver tried to make it up again, but it was a no-go.

I agree, it's not a fair assessment and odds are Jeep didn't plan for that to happen otherwise we would see the test happen indoors as some car makers do. At least when the JL is ready for release we'll get another look at how the Wrangler takes on a similar course.
