My first time going to ALMS lime rock in 07' in practice the Pilloti Ford GT hit the wall at the corner I was watching. At the time where I was spectating was about 10ft from the track and my tent was 20 ft. parts went flying, people jumped scared, risks were taken, one little kid even started crying, but no one that…

Yes, As an avid Jeep Enthusiast , I know its not the original hence why I specified the year range earlier in my comment..... Thank you for correcting my small and minor miss-wording, your pedantic observational skills have just earned you many life points. 

My apologies, Thank you for clearing that up, I had written a lengthy reply explaining myself a bit clearer,because I hate being misunderstood however when I hit publish nothing showed up. So to sum up as short as I can without typing for another hour:

Oh yes , I completely understand that, and I am fully versed in the naming convention of the Cherokee and model designations. Up until now no matter what the name the Cherokee/liberty maintained some semi-balance of truckness, but in this new version I don't see it at all. Just as I am able to voice my…

Wow, Butthurt much. I really dont care. Im just stating my opinion on the matter. Jeep and Ford and Toyota can still keep making cars like these and Im going to keep buying used Cherokees. And Im going to keep wheeling them as much as I can. You can call me a poseur all you want, but meet me at the trailhead someday…

I'm Sorry, I had a 97' Explorer and my Mum has one of the new Explorers and the new explorer doesn't compre In capability with the old versions. Electronic terrain control and an FWD based 4WD system can only get you so far and The FWD drivetrain isn't nearly as capable and Not even close  to as strong as a…

I dont think this is a bad car per-se, and as competition for the escape , CRV.....etc I think it will do really well. But the problem I have is calling it the Cherokee. Call it the patriot, compass whatever , but the cherokee stands for a small, simple rugged SUV with great capability that even outmatched the…

I know, the Pathfinder, the Explorer, the 4-Runner, The Trail Blazer.... nothings left anymore, I just had hopes that jeep would be different. There is still the wrangler and the X-terra and the Fj but the Cherokee holds a special place in my heart. 

Well, earlier I said that I would wait for some official images to make an opinion and now that they are officially released I can say that I am physically appalled by this. Again a once great and capable 4x4 has been ruined by the state of the consumer demands and the badge engineering of the automakers. Everything…

Actually the a stock classic Cherokee was amazingly capable and in the hands of a good driver it could do all the things that my current jeep can do. I have been on wheeling trips where guys have brought there stock cherokees and have been able to keep up through almost all of the obstacles and terrain that the…

After going to lunch, sitting in my cherokee and thinking, I've decided to sleep on it and wait till I see some decent pics of it before judging it further. I know that I'm going to be disappointed anyways because its not going to look like the original 70's truck, its not going to have solid axles or a proper truck…

Or this:

After seeing the pics of this "thing" I had to go out and look at mine and take a deep breath. 

If we're going to be technical, Uni-body V.S. Body on frame isn't the only thing that makes a vehicle a crossover. Things that set the original Cherokee apart from the Crossovers of today are what made it great and a True "SUV". Such as solid axles, Flexible truck style suspension, a front engine, RWD based transfer…

AAAAHHHHH !!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!! 

I always drive around with a grenade in my truck, its called a stock HP dana 30 spinning 33x12.50 mud tires and stock gears.... a time bomb waiting to blow!

As a good american that plays Rugby, I have to say this looks like it might be my favorite Top Gear "game" ever!  There is always a rugby ball left in the back of my jeep for an impromptu match and I think my Jeep would play lock just as well as I do in Car rugby! I cant wait to see this episode. 

I saw my first unmarked Caprice cruiser today on my way to work, I have to say I was pretty impressed and as the Aussies would say " I'm a Ford Bloke". If the new Holden Commodore is any inclination, the new SS might get me to buy my first GM product. 

A used Range Rover in good shape not only makes you look rich, but classy petrol head rich. Like I bought this when it came out and took care of it ever since rich...
