And does this thing have a rear end? Similar pics of the front only shown. If they put this ugly front end on a true Jeep, it is the end of Jeep.

Godozo All-Star Author Gary Posts:718 Points:580,640 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: Feb 26, 2013 12:22:32 AM Ignore Godozo Report Abuse You know, there's only so far that one can go in De-SUVing an SUV before you make it into something you can't recognize.... I understand that Ford and Chrysler has felt the need to make their former SUVs look more carlike in order to keep marketing them (very much unlike the early 2000s, when GM felt the need to make their minivans look more SUV-like to sell them), but this is taking it a bit too far. Especially for the Cherokee nameplate – a classic nameplate that can be said to have STARTED the SUV era in the first place.

This should be something to see. I wonder how long you have to drive and at what speed you find high gear. Put three more in it and call it a Mack.

highdesertman Champion Author Albuquerque Posts:2,618 Points:1,742,855 Joined:Mar 2005	Message Posted: Feb 25, 2013 1:51:52 PM Ignore highdesertman Report Abuse I had three of the old original Cherokees between 1984 and 1998 and one Liberty purchased in 2003. They were decent vehicles for their time, rugged and fun to drive on and off road, but the gas mileage sucked and it became difficult to justify having one as a primary car. The new one looks good and if Jeep has been able to replicate the traditional toughness and performance of the older models and also achieve mileage ratings that are competitive for the mid-size SUV class, they should have a winner here.
