I think I'm turning Crapanese - I think I'm turning Crapanese - I really think so! :eek:

Can you just imagine what Alfa would've done to a Gen.II Commander? http://www.theultimatejeep.com/images/icons/icon9.png

Hey Jon want to make some steel bumpers for that??

While he's at it, he can fab up some balls for it, too. :(

What a bucket of yuck!

[Matt]

Just realized.... this is the Liberty replacement isn't it?

Yes, this is not the new GRAND Cherokee, thankfully!

Not if its a sign of what's to come!! The KK was actually a decent looking Jeep IMO. A few minor mods and they're a great off-road rig.

Case in point:

So if they could screw up the Liberty/Cherokee that bad....ugh

I did like the design of the old KK, especially lifted, which is very rare it seems! It looked very Jeep-like, IMO, but that new Cherokee/Liberty...definitely not Jeep.

That would be an impossible project.

It sucks to see what they did to the KK. Is it true 4lo will not be offered in it?

I CAN see Jeeps approach on this though. The KK has been getting bigger and heavier basically to the size of the WK. The Jeep Cherokee if anything, should have borrowed more cues from the Grand while the compass should have been discontinued. In fact, a SLIGHTLY more blown up version of the Patriot with subtle cues from the WKII front fascia could have been called the 'Cherokee'.

I assume if one were to purchase this, they would just mail you your nuts in a white plastic "Thank You" bag after a few payments.

That's funny about the thank you bag. :D

Jeep's new look is just another reason to keep my XK for a few more years. The newest Grand Cherokee is just another blend-in SUV like all the rest. What's "Jeep" about it anymore? Oh yeah, the grill is kind of a Jeep grill. Whoopee. And what's with all new SUV's and that silly overhang above the back glass? They all have it, and it looks stupid IMHO.

What's strange is I've received three calls so far about how much the Commander is in high demand, and how great of a price I can get for mine on a trade-in, and I should "come on in and talk numbers." What would I trade mine in on?!? All the new Jeeps look like "pink pantie" mobiles, no wonder the Commander is in demand, it's a GOOD LOOKING JEEP for crying out loud. Trade mine in my a$$.

On edit, okay not all Jeeps, just the SUV & crossover versions. Compass, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, etc.

Speak for urself on the WKII's. those things look good! The only other company with a pretty decent product is Ford with the new Explorer. Jeep Is still the standard, which everyone else attempts to conform to. The revolutionized the SUV segment, and are trying to do slowly ease us in to something new.
