Default Saw my first new cherokee

It's a test mule, still unreleased I believe, the front is uglier in person than one could believe

I heard mention that Jeep was considering changing the front end to please Cherokee enthusiasts that are horrified by the look. They better. That thing looks as bad as what Nissan did to the Pathfinder. Manufacturers are taking the "fun" out of SUV's nowadays. They all look the same.

I wish they would change the front but usually when they release test mules that's how they'll come out unfortunately

I hope it flops big time. I wouldn't care if it had a different name.
