A lot of people are hating on it, but honestly I don't think it looks too bad. I already like it it. Sure it may not be the best 4x4 jeep they've made but come on its still better than a a compass or grand. It'll still sell. It's got potential you just have to have an open mind about it. And remember its not gonna be like our Cherokees. Some people are saying that's not a real Cherokee. Well ya there not gonna bring back an 11 year old SUV the same way. I'm sure it can be capable offroad, all jeeps are! Just my opinion, I know not many people like it haha

It's horrible looking. The three head light thing, really? I don't know. I may just need to see it in person I guess when it comes out.

I'm sure it's a good car..... looks like the new Ford Escapes and Subaru SUV. Really bums me out that Jeep has "sold out" and isn't making the Jeeps that we drive and love....... Really sad, I assume all of us are a dieing breid. All others are Wanna Be's, not die hards.

The Cherokee name still went on lol. The liberty's are called Cherokees everywhere else but America haha. And it does suck that they are making less hardcore 4x4s but you gotta keep in mind not a lot of people want vehicles that get 12 mpg and are shaped like boxes. Jeep will still make great 4x4s don't worry. But they also need to make money to continue to do that, this is how they make it. Making SUVs for everyone , I guarantee this will sell. I might even pick one up for a DD
