Default A little debate

I am having a little debate about which jeep is more aerodynamic, tj or Xj. I say tj my buddy says Xj. I say that the Xj has more flat square footage in the front than the tj but he says that the tj is flatter up front. I know this ISVs little silly but any opinions?

Yeah, they're both basically, er... bricks. I like how they described the XJ on Top Gear, as "cutting through the air with the poise and grace of a garden shed". I think that pretty much sums them both up.

A Walmart is more aerodynamic than both of them.

I saw the top gear episode where they drove I think a 93 Xj and it was so funny because he did nothing but compliment until it came to looks and aerodynamics

Depends on the mods too. If the top is off the wrangler, roof rack, and so on. But both have terrible aerodynamics.
