Did anyone read this blog when It came out several years ago. It compares the concept Commander against the released WK series. And then production actually started on a Commander. But they really don't look too much alike. One of my main questions for you XK folks is... Would you have bought the XK if it looked like this concept 5 years ago?
I would NOT have bought this:
With that said... in all honesty I was not (and still am not) very fond of the XK in stock form. Just like the Discovery, it looks like a baseball cap with wheels.... However, throw a 2-3" lift on it, widen the stance and some more aggressive tires and it COMPLETELY changes to a very rugged/nice looking vehicle; probably has something to do with proportions...
Stock vs. Stock... I'd take a WK...
No I would not purchase that at all. The stock XK is OK I like the stock XK over stock WK though. Both Jeeps look tons better with just a little work I think the XK improves more with less work.
I would not have purchased the concept vehicle either, I stock Commander is okay. I really was on the leading edge of Commander modifications so there was nothing to compare too, now I think stock is a little boring.

I drove past a Stock XK today. Lets just say I need to get a few Stickers on it for that poor guy to get some help. He was showing all kinds of Commander Envy when I went by. Jon when I get my first paycheck expect a lifetime membership from me!
I look forward to the support, but make sure all is good at home first, we are not going away.Originally Posted by CmmdrDan
