Yeah someone already posted about it.

It's nothing to get excited over. They're just going to keep making Jeep Libertys and stamping the Cherokee name on them. Chrysler has ruined Jeep and the Cherokee will never be the same as it was in its glorious old days.

Honestly the earlier liberty's aren't too bad. And I like the newer ones because they resemble the commander.

I hate those too. They look almost like extended Volkswagen Beetles. Not to mention I can't even take a lifted one seriously. I crack up every time.

If you have issue with the Chinese XJ, you weren't going to be satisfied with ANY new modern version a Cherokee. The Liberty effectly was the recent Cherokee and this the new one.

Yep. That's my point. I believe they are updated pre-97 XJ's. If they can't except those, forget about an actual newly designed vehicle for the current market expectations and safety standards. New buyers wanting something like the XJ in construction should buy Wranglers.

I have no issues with the features and engine.The only thing is the look of the car which makes it uncomfortable.Anyone would choose xj than this one.

LOL chick/soccer mom "CAR", The same exact things that were said in 1984 when the XJ came out. Nope I don't like the new thing either I just find all the talk about it rather comical. Not bashing on you either OEJ, just using you for a quote.
