First, and this is not a bash on the OP, that's nothing more than a Photoshop/Fireworks chop job someone did of an old FS Cherokee and Commander. Chrysler has not released any information on the design of the 2013 Grand Wagoneer. They also have not released any information as to whether they will produce only the 4 door Grand Wagoneer, or if they will also produce the 2 door Cherokee along side it.

What we do know is that it (the Grand Wagoneer) will go on sale in January of 2013 (according Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat/Chrysler). If they do make the Cherokee along side the Grand Wagoneer, and the actual design is close to that chop shot, I think it'll look good. Here's the chop shot of the Grand Wagoneer:

Well, essentially the same frame.

It doesn't look to bad. Make it SA (which they won't) and i'd probably buy one.

I KNEW IT!!!! We had a thread a while ago about them bringing the GW back. I said it will be a re-designed commander and I was right. Look at that freakin thing. The only difference is the grill design!

Essentially yes. The FS Cherokee was basically a 2 door version of the Grand Wagoneer. There were other changes, but in essence they were the 2-door/4-door versions of the same vehicle.

You're right in that someone took a Commander and Photoshopped it. As I already said, Chrysler, did not release that design. Some internet schmuck did.
Even if it's similar in design to the chop shot, I doubt it will be built on the Commander platform, seeing how production of the XK stopped at the end of 2010. The new GC platform (WK2) is carried over from the Daimler era, and is a modified version of the WK platform (which the Commander was built on), but even that is unlikely to be used. Marchionne has already stated that a new GC platform should debut in 2013, about the same time the new GW comes out. If my guess turns out to be right, the new Grand Wagoneer will be built on this future platform, and we should see no similarities to the Commander in it's design (thank God). Even so, the chop shot isn't horrid IMO, but there are definite changes I'd do.

somebody over at jeepforum.com photoshopped a picture of an older Wagoneer to be what they think the 2013s should look like. Came across that the other day.

The only thing cooler than an XJ is an SJ. Love Them!!
I would have one, if they weren't so damn expensive to find in so-so shape.
