This is exactly why I loved driving my Jeep so much, and exactly why I hate driving the car I am driving now. There is no personality, no excitement , no adventure. Just a quite ride, smooth throttle response and soft noiseless suspension. God I miss driving my Jeep.
You mean 740 HP plastered onto the Hood of a car doesn't seem tacky? Massive hood vents on a 64' Fairlane? its tuner "Fast and the Furious" tacky. Just not my style granted its done with excellent craftsmanship but at the end it comes off looking cheap to me.
It still looks pretty tacky plastered all over the car like it is, not to mention that its sooo close to the Nissan R badge.
Yeah, I meant to say Fairlane, but Galaxie popped out instead which usually happens because I have an unhealthy obsession for the early 60's Galaxies. On the factory Fairlane the side vents look fine and subtle, but between the matte metalic finish and the grey and black accents they look tacky and overdone. There is…
This would be fantastic, but to be worth the money and the time it would have to be as sharp looking as the Focus ST, good handling as a pudgy lotus Exige can be and RWD or AWD. I would never pay that much for a FWD car regardless of what the badge says.
I have too say that these are not close to what I would do to a car. These are way to "Hot Wheels", to "Autozone" for me. What I mean by that is there is a lot of loud color with tacky looking accents that seem like they were stuck on instead of hand fabricated. The side vents on the Galaxie, the paint on the…
Awesome!! As an Engineer I have been trying to get into the auto industry for AGES! maximum jealousy level achieved
While you are correct that times have changed. It still disappointing to an old fashioned "Traditionalist" like myself to see that the Cherokee nameplate has been attached to a CRV competitor, even the Trail hawk, while slightly more capable than stock is no XJ. And at the end of the day the reason the name of the…
Yup, where I stand on my soap box shouting about the new Cherokee, you are usually propped up next to me shouting about the SJ. Which if you are trying to defend the new one, it isn't doing you any favors. It only goes to expand on my point further Because while the new Cherokee looks feminine next to the XJ, It looks…
While at the time the Uniframe construction and Renault partnership were controversial, it still maintained its truck roots with an Longitudinally mounted drive train, traditional transfer case with low range , solid axles and styling. Even the liberty held true to these fundamentals. This on the other hand maintains…
NEVER, Its only progress if its better!!! Nice to see you too by the way....
This is Blasphemy and I shall take it no longer, Good Day sir.
A V8 mountaineer was the first car I ever bought myself, and it was promptly rendered airborne and muddy within a week. I loved that truck, and I beat the shit out of it.
Nope, I have been blown away by stock XJ's and the things they can do. A similarly equipped stock XJ would run circles around the new one.
Just because Jeep was owned by AMC at the time of the development doesn't make this a Eagle, it was designed to be a Jeep and it does a hell of a job at it. The other was designed as an Alfa Hatchback, The Fiat compact platform given bigger tires and AWD and called a Jeep. If you are going to troll know what you are…
It may have been outdated, but it sure as hell got the job done and got it done very well. And while the regulations have certain effects on auto design the new Cherokee was more dictated by market focus groups and soccer moms, this is still no Cherokee. Your right the days of the XJ are dead, I am just mourning.
I have driven one, Its a great hatchback , its a shitty Jeep.

The New Jeep Cherokee, One is a Jeep and one is a Fiat hatchback.
