Once Chrysler took over Jeep, it started to change the focus from simple, durable vehicles to a focus on creature comforts over utility. Just my opinion, but I think they totally diluted the strong brand they inherited.

For the life of me, I don't understand why a Jeep Compass and all that other junk even exists. It reminds me of how GM decided to stick a Cadillac logo on a Chevy Cavalier and sell it as the Cadillac Cimmaron.

The new Grand is a POS, IFS, Electrically controlled traction enhanced, joke! It's more like a Rover than a JEEP.

That thing is a perfect example of everything wrong with this country today. It's all appearance over substance. A plastic vehicle.. perfect for plastic people. Excuse me, I must now go to my toolbox and get dirty to make up for the knowledge of that things existence.

ya but i would rather start with a geo metro than this... actually a metro crawler would be sick. but this thing is just for the cubicle "man" who wants to drive a jeep but not pay for all the gas.
