Very good response 88! It carries the name but not the heart of our beloved XJ's. Without that heart, it's dead.

I don't want that 2014 "Cherokee" to tarnish the great Cherokee name. Jeep making cars is bad enough but to ruin the cherokee name is terrible. Here's what I think about it. http://m.facebook.com/pages/Petition...430280833&_rdr

I just sent a somewhat lengthy message as well. Thanks for getting our side of the story. Do it justice, please.

Agreed. Way to give the mighty Cherokee badge a black eye! This is like Pee Wee Herman renaming himself to Chuck Norris.

Most of the noise in the real Jeep world is about the Jeep brand and what it stands for. Sleek crossovers are not what Jeep is about.

I found this interesting special that the History Channel did on Jeep. Worth a watch.


Now can someone tell me where the Compass fits in?

Oh awesome! I'm hating myself right now (and work for all the stuff that I had to fix) for not actually getting the time to write something up. I'm glad you guys got a word in.

Yea..
Whats funny is that she said chrysler commented back to me saying that the new cherokee is basically a POS.

Chrysler had to say that the new cherokee has lower gearing..and it produces more HP then the v6 (yes..they say v6) of the original cherokee.
*******es.
