I think the KK is the real reason they are having to discontinue the Commander.

From a distance it is hard to tell it from the Commander.

But when you get up close you can tell that, yes in fact is IS a Commander.


Just smaller

I wonder if they thought it was too much? Some insiders think that they were losing market share to their own brand.

A few posts in other places seem to indicate that the 3.0L will be squeezed into the Liberty.
The GC will be getting a third row seat.
The wrangler is now a 2 or 4 door.
The compass and patriot round out the bottom.

They only need an RL-like AWD minivan and truck and they would be their own autonomous line-up.

RL-don't care but 4 door Gladiator? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring the Gladiator with the 3.0 or even 2.8 if the "glitches" are fixes.

Cheers,
Boiler

It looks like what you would get if a Jeep Commander and a Toyota Scion had a baby. And what is with that accordion looking thing on the roof when you open the top? Seems like they could have come up with something better than that. I will keep my KJ.
