Guy down the street from me has one. And another guy I work with just got his yesterday.

I've yet to check out either of them up close and in person, but the pictures don't do it justice. They do actually look nice even if some of us think they are less off-roadable. The front end does look a lot like the Commander, but boy the interior looks so much more comfortable.

I'll try to get some photographs when I can but it might be hard as I can't bring a camera to work. :cry:

You are lucky! I have been talking with the closest dealer to me which is a very big dealer and they said theirs are 1-2 months out from being delivered. There's one at a small town down in Louisiana but I'm not driving all the way down there to see it. I guess I'll just have to be patient!

Toledo dealers (of course) are loaded with them, even some with 20s on them and all blinged out! After checking them out they need a different front end, at least a 4/5 inch lift to get me to even look at one to buy. Way too low to get into where I need to go down in Southeastern Ohio. Interiors have too many angles as well things are not rouned but square cut off looks as if they used cardboard to mock it up and just left it that way!

I agree on the lift... maybe it's the excitement of seeing a new Jeep on the road?

Hey Guys!

I test drove one last week and i have to say, I like how it drove. It was peppy, handled well for something small and higher up and the seats were very comfortable. I like the armrest width. The somethings that I would have liked to see such as more power sockets (especially in the back trunk area like the Grand Cherokee) and a deeper storage area for the center console but i liked it more than i thought.

This will be my first venture into owning a jeep. It was the only SUV-ish option available for my corporate vehicle program. I originally didn't consider it because of the looks of the KJ (i have to admit, i do like the KJ's look more now than before) but when I saw the KK model, it was definitely more my stylings.

I've been reading the forums here and I have to say, man, jeep owners are passionate about the brand!

The only thing is that my company takes like 3 month to deliver it. so i won't see it till end of Nov (maybe).

Anyways, I think it's going to be a pretty popular car (especially in my co.).
