it might not be the prettiest thing, but i like it. and also, you have to give them credit, it did save Chrysler from going under.

Me too. I think it's great.

The new GC seems as if Chrysler's purpose was to make a vehicle to conquer Range Rover in offroad ability, luxury, and price.

The new GCs are supposedly stellar offroad, but in more of a Range Rover way than a Rubicon way. They're considerably cheaper than Range Rovers (actually around HALF the price - 40K vs 80K), and should be considerably more reliable.

If you want a relatively cheap, spartan, no-compromises offroader, get a Wrangler. If you want a luxury SUV that will kill every other luxury SUV offroad, get a GC.

I understand that Jeep no longer makes a vehicle comparable to the XJ, and that sucks pretty bad. But really, there's not much of a market left for it outside of Cherokeeforum. Between the GC, the Wrangler, and the Patriot, they've basically covered almost everyone who would have bought Cherokees. The people who liked the size of the XJ but wanted better mileage will get Patriots. The people who bought fully optioned out Cherokees will buy GCs. The hardcore offroaders will buy Rubicons.

There are very few people like us left, for whom the XJ is the perfect blend of all worlds.

I like it actually. I would totally buy one (if I had that kind of money obviously). Not for offroading or anything. But as a daily driver that takes the odd bad road.

I dig it!! They never claim it is a hardcore wheeler, just a decent off-road vehicle, that is prolly an awesome overall vehicle!! I'll keep my XJ for serious off road use, but I like the new GC, and would sport the hell out of one if I could...

To me it just looks too much like luxury. I believe Jeeps should be rugged-er.

That is a horrible picture of the GC. My sisters farther in law has the new srt8 and that thing is bad a$$. Dont just go by one pic. Wait till you see it on the road. IMO they look great.

I like the way the new GC's look. they look awsome. But I wonder if one could do mods to it as easily and as cheaply as one can do to the cherokee?

I didn't really like them at first. However, they are starting to grow on me.
