Jeep released a drawing of the concept Compass which resembles a Liberty (from the front anyway).

Thoughts?....

Patriot

What he said. This must be what happens when the same people who design Mercedes automobiles are turned loose on the Jeep product line. :D

Easy there on the speculation. I wouldn't be to worried that the front end of the Compass looks like a KJ. After all, the KJ is a Jeep and they want this new Compass to look like a Jeep as well. I was built to look like a Jeep even though it is more car like :?

I can't see jeep dumping the Liberty just yet either; they just re-freshed it for '05 and went though the trouble of putting a diesel in it. If DCX were going to replace KJ with the Compass or this Patriot they would have tested the diesel in the new Grand Cherokee or in a Dakota.

I also don't think that Compass drawing is a very good representation of the Compass. The spy shots of it in the camo look a little more off the ground and more upright (less stream line). I'm not saying I like or dislike the Compass, but expect more crossover features than what that DCX drawing shows.

If I were a betting man, I would disagree. Simply because many Jeep (4X4) faithful fear the future of the Jeep line-up is going IFS. What better Jeep than the KJ to test diesel and or future IFS vehicles.

I agree. I think the Rescue is the best concept Jeep has done yet!

The webpage mentions "global portfolio expansion" in the first sentence, which I would take to mean that the Compass would *add* to the Jeep line-up rather than replace an existing model.

The Rescue is the only one of the bunch that I would even consider buying...looks kinda cool. But, is it just me, or does it look an awful lot like a Hummer?

I think it looks a lot like the hummer to. But thats ok cause it has all those years of Jeep experenice behind it not GM..
