Interesting. I think Jeep is trying to appeal to the people that would normally seek out a European SUV with this one. It is just a little to boxy and squared off for me to really have an interest in.


I need my Jeep for survival. How else could I fish the backcountry, see the lost mines of Colorado, and live life to the fullest.

Looks like big XJ to me. Not bad body work.

HATE the headlights.

Adversity does not build character "it reveals it"

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright
exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Too "Land Rover"

Dash looks like an '80s Chevy Blazer with those exposed bolts.

Headlights have GOT TO GO!!!

This thing's got no brand identity whatsoever.

Looks llike a cross between a Cherokee and a Land Rover.

I don't mind the look. I don't think it's the lights, I think they way the grill is setup with the lights looks funny. Perhaps they will have a non-bling grill option... Razz

Looks like a carbon copy of the XJ, just bigger, and with funny headlights.

The headlights and signal lights look way out of place.
check the drivers side on this chop. I think a traditional front fits the vehicle much better.

Definitely looks better with the turn signal in front, but I'd keep a round headlight in there to fit in with the current Jeep design language.

It looks a little square, maybe they are looking for the scion look.

I sure hope that this isn't the vehicle that was inspired by the rescue. That vehicle looked useful, this one is a soccer mom mobile. If it was, they really lost something along the way.

Not sure what it was but I got behind something the other day that looked like a real monstrosity. It had a Jeep nameplate on it and loads of plastic. From behind, it looked like they were going for a kind of Hummer H2 look but not as big. I thought it was a soccor-mom-ized grand cherokee.

Way loads of plastic. Made the thing wider because the plastic stuck out so much.

Oh, here it is: Jeep SRT

It looked much worse in person. Maybe because the one that I saw was white, the plastic really stood out. Looked worse from the back too (which was all I saw).
