Oh man, don't leave the "Grand" out, you really got my hopes up. Isn't the current design just two years old? Whatever. The interior actually reminded my of the Grand Wagoneer in how it was supposed be rugged on the outside, comfortable inside... except the outside looks like a minivan. Square it off, lower or elongate the hood, and I might like it. Also, if ever again a Jeep contains a strut, someone needs to pay.

Still not too sure how I feel about the new GC. Hated the looks at first but they're starting to grow on me. As far it not being something to build up, I think you could actually make a decent trail ride out of it. Some guy photo-shopped a possible look for it. Not great IMO, but it has about the same potential as a Liberty and, considering what they really are, don't do too bad in all honesty. It'll never be a rock crawler or mud-runner, but it'd be a decent enough beginner trail rig.

I agree. They havent changed it much since the 06 body style and I have to say dont knock it till you drive it. These things run and drive like a dream. Handle amazing. Put it up against any modern small or midsize SUV and I gurantee it wins. I love my wife's GC.

It looks like someone lifted a Ford Edge. Just more poop in a can from Chrysler. Sorry just not a fan of what they have done to the Jeep name. Nowadays your everyday Jeep is no better then a crossover. The days of real 4x4 SUV's are far over. Just be thankful that Chrysler wont touch the Wrangler as its the Jeep golden goose.
