I believe they call the Liberty in Europe a Cherokee. Still, the XJ is the perfect vehicle for a lot of us. With the new Pentastar V6, a light XJ like vehicle, perhaps with Rubicon suspension, would be a hoot. The new Jeeps are a mite ponderous. The Commander and GC are beautiful SUV's, but not something I'd want to go boonie hopping with.

Still being built in China, the front end looks a little different.

Yep. Commander. Even the XK shows that it is the updated XJ. Give it 10 years and kiddies will be buying them for $4k and beating the crap out of them.

And i disagree, XJ's are a classic. Cant be replaced. And no, XK's are a completely different design.
