Hey, I haven't really been as active as I used to be since I got my civic Si but this brought me back here. It is sad because I have really been liking the new chrysler/jeep/dodge and alfa products lately but this is just disgraceful!! The CHEROKEE is based on the Dodge Dart platform... Take a look for yourself, it looks the completely loved Nissan Juke on the front.

This sums it up nicely.


Honestly, looking at the side views it's got pretty good attack angles. It's just got tiny engines, electric everything and, and it's made almost entirely of brittle plastic. No to mention it's butt ugly.

Now its been said that it will not be called the Cherokee OR Liberty, but something else. Either way, it FUGLY, like the '14 Corvette and the '15 Rustang. What are the big 3 thinking?

The new mustang looks like a bloated Aston (Which i think Ford owns Aston), and the new Corvette is just retarded. They totally redesigned it and it still can't go around corners.

No wonder the Big 3 are failing, they keep dishing out piles of ****. I will never own a new American car.

I think the new vette looks good. Maybe that's just me.

As for that slanty eyed kia thing that Jeep is making... I threw up a little in my mouth.

Wish they could just get the equipment back from beijing jeep (or whatever) and start making XJs again! They'd sell. In a time when everything is getting more and more complex. We need something that gets us back to basics.

I think it would be so awesome if some car company brought back an older style car. With carbs and a simple interior (like the cherokee), no ac, only comes in manual everything, solid axles, all metal no stupid plastic anywhere.
Like my dad got a 2012 ram 1500 and there's plastic everywhere! and good luck working on it, it looks wayy more complicated than our older cars

Yeah i like the style of the new vette too, it's just obviously it can't handle worth a **** just like the last ones.

I don't like that it's a Jeep at all, but on its own as a vehicle I actually kinda like it. Not wild about the front, but from the side and rear it's not horrible. Kinda looks like a pissed off Outback.

I agree. I think the front would look better if it was drivin into a steel wall at 50mph. But the rest is pretty nice.

The recent car like trend at Jeep is saddening, but to disgrace the Cherokee name by sticking it on that is just wrong. Petition anyone. It's a shame the only "Jeep" jeep is still making is the wrangler.

Sorry, guess you're missing out on some of the best cars being made right now then.

Before you make such a dramatic statement like that, you should probably actually hit a showroom or two. You will be blown away by how wrong you are.
