Cherˇoˇkee-itis: A disease that infects the minds, hearts and wallets of Jeep buyers who cannot accept that there was, is, or ever could be a replacement for the Cherokee, sometimes referred to as the XJ.

Yes, we just made that up, but the fictitious symptoms of Cherokeeitis do afflict a great number of SUV aficionados. After all, the original Jeep XJ was, if not the very first mid-size SUV on the market, the definitive sport utility vehicle from 1984 straight through to 2001.

Awesome, I like it...and its true.

 

Reading the article where it mentions the Liberty is supposed to fit between the Grand Cherokee and Patriot, but properly equipped it costs almost as much as the GC. I don't think the Liberty will be around for too many more years.

 

I definitely like the new Liberty style than the old one.

The patriot is a gutless POS that should have been aborted before it was born, though...

 

Truer word could not be spoken jeep should fire the people that dreamed up that crap wagon the compass and patriot are crap on any level

 

I like how the described the restyled Liberty.

"...restyled in 2008 to look less like a four-door Wrangler and more like the butch Cherokee it was designed to replace."
