My post is entirely based off of looks. Idk how it will perform or drive(highly possible it will be very car like due to its platform) so I can't judge there. But looks wise it is utter crap. Atleast that's my opinion, I also think the new C7 Corvette looks like garbage too and I'm a Corvette fan lol. It just shows you don't have to like how every generation of a vehicle looks like.

Probably pretty well with women I'm assuming. It doesn't seem like a very "masculine" design. It'll basically be a compact Grand Cherokee. Fits perfectly for the critics that kept comparing the Liberty to the RAV4 and other compact crossovers.

You do realize that the Liberty was "marketed for woman". Both KJ and KK. For me it makes as much sense as guys who call their KJ/KK "her" and then hang truck nutz on it.

Looks like something from Star Wars! Yep saving for a wrangler before they mess them up! And I dont care how it performs. All jeeps "should" perform from the factory. Land rovers and hummers look more like a jeep than that thing!

I like my tea sweet and cold.
My chicken fried
And my jeeps boxy and utilitarian.

The KK was actually more for men when they made it more aggressive and boxy. Yes, still mostly for women, but also attractive to men.

They did studies and found that women will buy a mans car, but men won't buy a girly car. So for the KK, they gave it a square-jawed boxy macho look.

Regardless of what engine/drivetrain/nuts/bolts/squirrels/etc are in any vehicle... if I don't like the looks of it, I'm never going to buy one. End of story. "Not judging a book by it's cover" really doesn't apply here.

This. Cherrie, that's how they market cars now by looks. Changing powertrain won't make a vehicle more gender specific. Either way it's fugly lol

If you worked where I work, you would love the Grands. They kinda feed my paycheck. :lol:

Ted15 · **Posted:** Sun Feb 24, 2013 2:09 am

I don't like it, I really don't care for crossovers and it does look kinda wierd. I can't imagine it being any more capable than the new grand is Offroad.

That front end is brutal. It looks like some cheap asian knock-off or something. Like that weird Izuzu thing back in the day. I have a KJ and like the looks. I thought the cherokees in the past looked good, and I like the KK looks alot. I like that boxy roots jeep look. This new cherokee is just lame. If i was in the market to get something like this there are just so many options that are much nicer all around

While I'm glad they didn't ruin the Liberty's name with this thing, I feel bad for the XJ guys. I hope this thing surprises us all.
