    2014 Cherokee

    So what is everyones opinion on the new 2014 Cherokee? At first I though this was the new Grand Cherokee.

    I am not sure on the new design. The front just doesnt look like a Jeep.

    Fiats doing what they can to keep the Jeep brand alive. Not a true "jeep lovers" taste in a vehicle, but will interest the much larger market and help their CAFE ratings as well. With the laws the way they are, and the more stringent ratings requirements coming each year, Jeep needs to sell little vehicles like that if we still want big engines in the WKII and other larger jeeps [to come]

    Test... OK, quick reply isn't working for me.

    The new Cherokee looks like a baby grand to me. The main disappointment is that it is primarily FWD. I would hope the AWD would feel more RWD as in the Commander, but not sure. Good things are that you can get low range and a rear LSD.

    My wife will be disappointed as she was hoping to replace her old Libby with the newer boxy, baby commander style. Doesn't look like this is an option anymore.

    I have not read up on anything on Jeep but wasn't there talk about bringing back the Jeep Wagoner? to replace the Commanders?

    So yeah the Cherokee has replaced the Liberty. I like the new Libertys. They held onto the boxy look
