 Post subject: The New Liberty?......
PostPosted: Sun Aug 14, 2005 6:58 pm 
Jeep released a drawing of the concept Compass which resembles a Liberty (from the front anyway).

Thoughts?....

This looks more like the "next" Liberty.

Patriot

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.

???? This is a concept drawing by DC.

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 keep getting told by DC that the Gladiator is still in the concept phase and no prices or dates can be released to the public yet. :roll:
