A guy on Facebook took some pics of a KL at the Detroit Auto Show. Looks better, but I still can't get past that frontend...

The front end looks much better in person. Much like the 94 Ram did when it first came out.

Tyres and wheels make it look pretty good I reckon.

Looks better than a lot of modern vehicles, rather have the KL over some other makes.

How was the crowd around it? I was looking at the list of vehicles at the Chicago Auto Show and it looks like Jeep will not have a Cherokee on display. Kind of confused why they wouldn't bring it to the largest auto show.

This is what they currently have listed to be displayed:
Grand Cherokee
Compass
Grand Cherokee SRT
Patriot
Wrangler
Wrangler Unlimited

The Cherokee was mainly set in the back corner of their display area (lol). And they had a standard blue one on the spinning display, but there was not even a decent size crowd around it... Maybe one or two people at a time. Kinda sucked too that the brown Trailhawk version (seen above) was locked...

I went to an auto show in san jose recently, it was their main attraction. Bunch of people were around it. So far I only like the trailhawk, every other edition doesnt look right. The back ends are the worst part on em. The interior is very nice though. The solid black decal on the hood of the trailhawk is a 150$ extra...

I'd drive that brown TH or they could just give me one to thrash about in. I would like to see what it does personally.
