Well in all actuality they never stopped making the cherokee they just stopped making the xj and just renamed the new body style in the u.s. everywhere else in the world the liberty has cherokee badges all over it....

 

[QUOTE=00xj-classic;408123]if jeep did make another NEW cherokee or whatever i wouldnt get it unless it had the 4.0l in it.. the 3.7 or 3.8 jeep makes these days are junk.. my g/f liberty was a peice of garbage at 22k.. trans slipped and engine threw codes every day..[/QUOTE


yea but u must agree no JEEP sould be automatic... all trans slip eventually, meanwhile back at the ranch, u simply cant kill a manual...ull destroy the rest of the vehicle trying ...

 

I always wanted a Jeep Cherokee. Not only for their performance, but because they look good. They called it slab-sided and boxy, but that was huge part of its charm - and made thoroughly recognizable as JEEP.

Like the other most recognizable Jeep Model, the Wrangler, the Cherokee looks as at home out in the wilderness as it does in the most upscale neighborhood. And unlike most other compact SUV's, it was far more than just a pretty face.. it had game.

It was a huge mistake to end its run. It's numbers where still good, it still sold well, it was - and is - still popular. When any given platform is working well, both in looks and performance, stick with it. And when it comes to something as popular as the Cherokee, the worse thing they could do is radically change it - in looks or otherwise. Never do that to any popular or iconic design! And if they want to change it, at least make it recognizable from its old form. (I'm only thankful they didn't give the Liberty the Cherokee name - they look like hell).

The Cherokee was such a huge success for Jeep. It is the best compact utility vehicle ever created - BRING IT BACK!

Well said on all aspects

 

they already did, it's called the Liberty here in the states... everywhere else it is called the Cherokee...

 

I could put a cherokee badge on a piece of dog doo... That don't make it a cherokee.

having wheeled a stock cherokee and stock liberty i would rather take the stock liberty offroad. however after modification its a no-brianer, with the cherokees solid front axle, its going to be way better on the trail. not to mention the aftermarket support is huge. people need to remember the majority of the market is not geared towards enthusiast. the liberty is by far more consumer friendly on the road then the cherokee. Jeep knows this and is going to do what sells the most vehicles for them.
