They did, and tried passing it off to us as the Liberty KK.

And the Compass is based off the Chrysler PL & PH platforms, which also were the foundation for Dodge Caliber, Neon, and PT Cruiser. So by technical definition, it is a car.

The liberty was suppose to be the redesigned xj. Suppose to be trail worthy too. The compass is jeep "luxury" car and the wrangler and GC are well what they are. Oh and patriot is the female wrangler and suppose to be better on gas like a sentra to an altima.

I was referring to my XJ. The compass, those are cars to me. I would never take them serious. I would accept the Dodge Nitro, before that bubbles! It's a bettle on steroids!

The Wrangler? Yeah, I would buy one and my XJ would be a trail jeep. All the options. Only wranglers and Cherokees for me. I wanna see how my jeep is against the Grand SRT8. I blew past cars from 55 to 80 in the length of a bus three car lengths ahead of me. After that every 2010 BMW, Honda, Toyota wanted to pass me, after I dropped to the speed limit. I really love my jeep! I will never trade it....

Not even for a fuel economy Dumpass!

Didn't know that. I had a feeling. The Liberty was suppose to be the replacement Cherokee..... That's not even worth saying the Wrangler's baby brother!

Yeah. I know. They are reliving the "K" car days. Saving money reusing the platforms and changing some features. I was a mechanic back in 2000 at Grand Dodge of Englewood. But if I had the choice of the new ugly cars, Nitro. It looks good!

But I always knew Jeep. This is my second and I wud probably be lost without it! I miss my 5 spd.

Next winter, I'm charging when I pull people out. I pulled 3 cars and watch every new pickup and truck get stuck or spin out. I was doing the speed limit like it was a coating of snow! Wait, it was a foot... Right?
