    The H4 (or whatever it WAS going to be called) never gets made, but this travesty gets the green light?

    Check out 2025 Mercedes G Class ...makes me feel Isuzu had the styling smarts way before anybody else.

    Looks like Jeep stole quite a few styling marks from the Range Rover Evoque, especially the headlight & foglight treatment.

    The fugly grill alone of the Jeep makes it a hands-down "non-buy".

    Hate it. Most jeep owners seem to hate it too.

    I saw a petition to stop Jeep from labeling the new model as "cherokee" because XJ owners didn't their image ruined.

    I gotta agree...that's the first thing I thought when I first saw the photo.

    There is a lady that owns a diner I frequent that owns an Evoque. It does draw alot of attention from customers and the workers there refer to it as futuristic inside. Waiting until spring to take the VX there sometime...see if it garners any interest..lol.

    The VX's external styling has it all over this new "Cherokee," and I'm not a big fan of the Evoque, either.

    It's too bad our dashes and stacks are so early 90's. Styling-wise, it's the weakest part. I said styling, yes. No need to mention the back-seat entry/egress (tough to do without laughing), or the popperless tailgate, or the storage space... But I love my VX like few cars I've ever owned.

    Speaking of - stay tuned. New horse on the way to the stable.

    Sorry if I'm thick but what are stacks? Tail pipe? I don't know, we only have one of those.

    I believe he would be referring to the "stack" of controls in the center - radio, A/C, CD changer, etc.

    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?
