It would look better if it were lower to the ground like a station wagon. Come to think of it I hope one gets turned in to a pimped-out station wagon.

The styling on the Aztek was awful front to back, top to bottom. The Cherokee's styling woes lie mainly in the lights; the rest of the vehicle looks okay for a modern SUV/CUV.

The bigger issue is that it sits on a Dart platform, and won't be nearly as rugged off-road as its legendary name suggests.

This is appropos of nothing but a lot of Jeep curmudgeons would be much happier if they'll just accept that the 4 door Wrangler is the new Cherokee. They're probably not going to make another midsize mass-market baby-carrier crossover with a front live axle boys.

All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing I could do:

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

That jeep is a drat shame. I think the current style is pretty handsome. To me a Jeep is relatively plain and function all. What the gently caress are they thinking?

They're thinking of their target audience, to which a Jeep is something shiny to show off to the neighbors.

It's like a cat that has been stroked way too hard or something. The only recognisable feature is the grille. Sort of like those new Land Cruisers. If I had the cash I'd never touch one. Bet you can't replace panels easily, unbolt the roof and fold down the windshield or even get it off road properly without it breaking, sinking or falling to pieces.

Best way to tell from that time period is whether or not it had drum brakes in the back. All EVOs since the dawn of EVOs run rear discs, but Lancers in general have only just gone away from rear drums in Australia on every other model.

I think they are taking styling cues from the Cayenne which has been a runaway hit for Porsche among the soccer mom set. The Jeep grill just looks ever so wrong in between those headlights though.

I am more disturbed by the Dart underpinnings. It is like they decided that maybe the Liberty retained too many off-road capabilities and decided "we'll fix that!"

Oh you're making GBS threads me. What the hell is going on? Why are we losing useful vehicles? I suppose its along the same lines of the best farmland being progressively developed and subdivided because the trendy set want the rural experience until eventually only the silverhairs remember that it used to be fertile farmland.

Ie people take something good and keep loving it up until barely anyone remembers why it was good in the first place.

Of course, but it's another use for a Caprice besides the usual surface for applying flame decals or Impala trim bits.

Better than the Dodge Dart. I guess they saw the Macpherson strut front suspension and FF layout of the Ford Escape and got jealous of the cost savings.
