Default New 2016 Cherokee VS $600 XJ

Interested, has anybody else seen this video, or am I just behind? I have a close friend who recently bought a 2016 Cherokee Sport (2WD by the way ), and I just purchased a 94 Cherokee Sport (4wd for sure). It makes some very good comparisons on the two, and explains how Jeep has.. lost it's off road touch on the Cherokee side. Not a fan of the body style personally either, but he quite likes it. What do you think?

Meh, nah. I would never wheel a new KL. But I like my new JK.

The XJ was a solid beast. But that's not where cars are headed anymore.

Completely agree.
Having worked as a tech for GM before I've seen some pretty bad platforms coming out from them as well. Too many software updates for a vehicle to be as versatile and dependable as before. Cherokee has become too flashy and not aggressive enough IMO. Luxury over all.

It's more Fiat than Jeep on the new ones.

I say remove all safety features from cars and warning labels and let let nature take its course.
