Interesting article about what models may be getting the axe. Commander, Liberty and Compass among them.

Mike thanks.
We knew that Commander was going out in 09 for sure, that was given, but I am surprised that they would consider axing KK as well. Why do you think DC had its best days when they had 3 line. Wrangler, Liberty, Grand Cherokee. This was attractive, well known and had one car/vehicle for each use. First they messed up Grand Cherokee with its weird redesign, then come up with 5+2 midget person Commander, and now a busy like with vehicles that satisfy less people.
Looks like they want to replace KK with Patriot if they really wanna get rid of it. And now with beat-the-hell-outta off-road vehicle JK costing so much, they are seeing a decline on sales. I honestly don't even think JK can hold its value as much as older Jeeps. After all these years owning a jeep, I can say that I wouldn't want a jeep as my next vehicle. It just doesn't cut it for people like me with mostly city driving. American brands started to realize Imports are honestly catching up and possibly passing what once meant reliability, power and pride.
