Smfh...I knew Fiat would completely ruin Jeep. At least before they sorta looked like a Jeep. Now it looks like a ****ing import SUV. Useless crap.

The ugliest biggest POS that will ever bear the Jeep name. Hell, the GC looks kinda good

Fiat has their hands in this one........

Haha do you guys really think that pic of that foreign car or whatever the **** it is, is a jeep? People have been claiming that jeeps gonna make a car or something like that forever and they never will. You cant believe everything you read on the internet. I doubt theyll change the name of the liberty but if they did it would be cool. Even though commanders look more like cherokees..

Those are the spy pics of the Liberty/Cherokee as a test mule, using an Alfa Romeo body. Here are more current, closer to production pics. Granted, it's not MUCH better, but it does seem to look closer to the new GC.

still just my opinion...but if you've bothered to look at what they're doing with the wrangler you'll see they have been making that the 4 door 'hardcore' offroad vehicle for a while

That body is just for testing the platform, it's not the actual new Cherokee body.

Jeep is going down under with FIAT at his side.
you want an total unreliable car? buy european

the Fiat 500 has still MOT trouble cause the weigt of the rear end is to low. FIAT said when you go to the MOT put some weight in the trunk. like sandbags.

why is it an problem that the rear-end is to low on weight? because the wheels jams by braking, and also after few 1000 miles the wheel has some flat spots on it cause breaking and such.

the jeep? left me hang onze during starter failure. new once and since then never let me down
my mom and stepfather have an Hyundai I40 estate....trouble with electronics and headlights all the time. also the battery whas drained to empty by the car electronics.

only problem about the cherokee XJ is rust. keep it clean after off-roading cause the metal isnt ressist to rust
