New Jeep is a Vehicross?

[Vendetta]

New Jeep Cherokee?

Haaa! Never, my friend. Not as long as they look like that, anyway. And sure as hell not as long as I own my VX. So yeah... "never."

But what I'm getting does have full-time AWD.

Thx. A minor styling error. FYI Simon Cox a key Vehicross designer also cited the dash as a downfall. Also, the short Trooper Two wheel base. That's it. Not too bad?

Yep, this is the stack I'm referring to. Not sure I'd call it minor though. But I suppose it's functional enough.

All week I've been watching the NASCAR prep for the Daytona 500 and they kept mentioning how this new Gen 6 car "looks just like the car you see on the street". Ummm, yeah just like this Yeep "looks like a VX." I don't see any NASCAR race cars (or any VX other than the VX-4) with four doors!!!

Thas also what "they" said about the Roman empire...

&..well...speaking of "downfalls"...L-O-L

I like the new Jeep. I have my vx and Cherokee and couldn't be happier, however I admit the time will come one day when I reach my goal of driving the vx to 190k and sell it to the next person to continue the love affair. To me, this looks like a spinoff of the next stepof what i might want in a car. I used to be skeptical of these newer jeeps but then I spent a lot of time in the second gen Liberty and loved it. Until then, the Gunbarrel just kicked over 120k. At this rate, it will take six to eight years before I sell it.

That first video I am still waiting for the "offroad" part to begin. Nothing there I couldn't do in my 2 wheel drive stock Ford Ranger.
Second video has nothing in it that we can buy in that form from a Heep dealer...though there are a few they should offer (but sadly probably never will)!

I had a 14 jeep patriot as a rental for the past 12 days. Had even thought about getting one as my replacement car until I drove it a bit. Sure pulled down on hills. Was really disappointed in Jeep because of it. Only thing good I can say was it was easier on my back injury than the VX but no way would I trade.

Check out this one, it looks just like a foxfire.

The interior looks good but I can't stand how the body looks. Someone that owns a chain of automatic car washes designed this body.

Under "woes" for the Trailhawk...
Approach/departure angle? Skid plates? Ground clearance?

Nope... Too much power, no memory seat (really?), leather upholstery limitations...

Well, I LOVE that crazy-lookin' "Jeep-from-the-future" front end so much that I checked one out over the weekend - but within 5 seconds all of my interest completely evaporated.

Line up the new Cherokee with any other small SUV and I would find it impossible to pick it out from an Escape, CRV, etc. when looking at the side or rear. Same ol' cookie-cutter. In person it is just way too minivan/station wagon - not enough off-road heck-raiser. Apparently the beauty shots I've seen over the last few months were taken from VERY low angles to make it look beefier.

I trust it's off-road capable as Jeep claims, but it just looks like a slightly lifted car in person. No thanks.

I almost crashed while driving to my job site when i saw that abomination with the "Cherokee" bagde on the doors.
