I think when younger I may have dated that gussied up pig?? Those years are something of a blurr in my memory. I seem to remember a fair bit of squeeling and I did find the lipstick on my collar.
I say keep an open mind. We are all intitled to our opinion. We are also intitled to make our own choices.
Competition is natural, either way the name Cherokee will come out the winner.

Personally, the Patriot is much more less appealing looking compared to the 2014 Cherokee. The Cherokee has much better technology in it and the Patriot just looks like a confused jeep. Yea, the Cherokee has alot of Hyundai and Toyota or whatever you wanna say in it but atleats it all is the same. It all looks foreign. the Patriot looks like they tried to put an older xj mid section, liberty back end, wrangler hood/grill/lights and a liberty bumper. It looks a hell of alot more confused. If I was looking for a family suv or just even a reliable suv that I could take camping I would buy the 2014 Cherokee over pretty much any other trucks. Maybe the newest 4runner, that looks nice or maybe the subaru crosstek but thats not really an suv. Just my opinion.

Mind you in this day one needs to make sure their opinion will not upset/offend the other party involved in the discussion.
Political correctness has never been one of my strong points. Live with it.

I'm not saying you need to be politically correct. Just aware of how your comments are perceived. If you are OK with people seeing you as rude, then by all means.


As far as emotions/feelings, vehicles are a bit different than most objects. In a lot of ways, people to feel that they are an extension of their own personalities.

I just don't understand why anyone would go in a KL forum just to talk crap about it! Obviously lots of time on his hands.

I have stated my opinion on the KL and it obviously upsets people so in the future I will keep my opinions to myself.
This crap is getting old.

You have NOT kept your opinions, sarcastic as they are, to yourself.

This sub-forum was not set up as a place to bash KLs. That's been made perfectly clear.

How about just knocking it off?

You realize this forum section is for discussing KLs, and oriented towards the owners, right? If you were to sign up to a BMW forum and go tell them how awful their cars were, you can expect to get banned because that's trolling.

I don't like the KL's look either but it's a vehicle this community is now supporting so my opinion is no longer relevant. Likewise I don't troll everybody's build threads and tell them how stupid their angry eyes, RC lifts, VHT nightshades, and stereo systems are. If you really want to **** and moan then go sign up for Facebook.

I like these ok, but that said I find the commercials humorous. I dont see many of these ever seeing real dirt, the cost is outrageous, so why not show an ad of the real use? Taking kids to soccer practice is a needed use too. If I had the money I would like one for a DD though.

We don't have kids to take to soccer practice, but I have plenty of guns that my KL can carry to the range.
