I like the look, of all the "boxy" suv's out there you can pick a cherokee out of all of them.

Just talking out loud.......Imagine if Mopar took a XJ unibody shell and put a JK drive train in it and a 3.6 motor....and sold it in the US as a "Cherokee"....like I said talking out loud.... Would you buy one?

The fact that I don't give two craps about how it looks. Scratch it on a tree? Who cares. Get a door ding? Oh well. So much easier to leave somewhere than my DD.

In a heartbeat!

I like the versatility. It's roomy enough for trips with 4 people and some gear, civilized enough on the roads, and very capable off road.

As a secondary item I love, it just has that iconic look that never seems to go out of style. With most of the SUVs now having lots of curves, rounded corners, and plastic panels, I like my flying brick!

It started for me with it's looks. I figured since a lot of you also mentioned it's look I would bring this up. Did anyone else see this on Yahoo?

There's just something honest about them. They look like what they are, and the only thing they hide is the fact that they're better at their job than you'd first think.

(if that makes any sense)
