Even if they did, it would be nothing like the original, due to new MPG regs.

The liberty is called the cherokee everywhere but in the US.

"Jeeps are the most unreliable piece of trash vehicles you could ever own." -No one. Ever.

I don't get this, my Cherokee is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. The only problem I ever had was an issue with the wiring to the fuel pump, which was fixed by replacing with heavier gauge wire.

As to bringing back the Cherokee, the only way that would be successful, would to make it like the original, inexpensive, straight axles and very basic in standard form. They could offer upgrades for the yuppies that have to keep up with the Jones's next door. If they kept the weight down, and used modern engines, and transmissions, the fuel economy would be there.

Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

The commander is more of a cherokee look-a-like than the liberty

They've already released a statement saying the Liberty is ending in 2014 I believe it was. And they still make Cherokees in other parts of the world so I don't think they can name the liberty a Cherokee if they continue it.

You have to understand sarcasm to get it.. It's a quote, and who said it? No one. Ever.

They already failed getting rid of the inline motors.

They don't still make the Cherokee anywhere. China was the only one producing it until a few years ago and the Liberty is called Cherokee outside the US. They're ending the Liberty entirely here in the US and replacing it with a new Cherokee based on the new Dodge Dart platform.

World of difference between what we drive and what "Jeep" produces today. The new Cherokee is going to be based on the Dodge Dart, that should tell you all you need to know about it.
