Well, lets try a process of elimination. From looking thru the openings in the front bra we can see the classic 7-slot grille of a Jeep, so that is pretty much established. As to it being a Patriot or Liberty, if you look at the images of the Patriot on the Jeep.com site you'll see a couple of styling clues:
1) the rear window wiper on the Patriot is mounted
thru the glass, whereas on this one it is mounted below the glass (much as on the present KJ). Several of the Rockies people who attended the Jeep show out in Denver also report that the new Liberty keeps the flip-glass with a swing-up rear gate (which this vehicle has).
2) on the Patriot the front headlights are rather plain, with trim all around and the driving/fog lights mounted down in the front bumper corners. On this vehicle the headlights look much more like the Commander units with seperate low and high beam portions. Add to these the fact that they are disguising (to a limited extent) the lines/features of this Jeep and I would say that it is the new Liberty. It would be nice if someone who attended one of the Jeep shows would chime in and give us a better answer.
Anyway, thats my $1.25 ($.02 adjusted for inflation, cost of living, etc.)

If a Honda Element and Scion thingy (I don't know who makes those ugly things) got busy, that's what you'd get. At first it looked like a dodge with the front end but that was just the "Hide the Jeep Super, Ultra, Mega secret bra".
Scion is a division of Toyota (just so ya know). I'd love to see what they used to mask the Nitro when they were road testing it - maybe a 7-slot bra with mesh in the holes???

He's got some kinda secret DC connection whereby he leaks the Good Stuff to us before DC is willing to back it up with anything. I dunno where he was on the balljoint thing, though, the first I heard of it was the morning news.
