#31 of 188 Why not? by gmanich Jul 14, 2002 (10:25 am)
#32 of 188 Yeah by mikemajesty Oct 06, 2002 (3:32 am)
gotta go with vero on this, wrong segment. make it a chrysler. they could use a rwd sport kinda car, which this could be in an srt form. chevy will have the gto, ford the stag, chrysler has nothing sporty, rwd and affordable. by the way, rumor is that the hemi engine will be going into grand cherokees next year with something like 350hp. imagine that in this car, damn.
#33 of 188 ohh by mikemajesty Oct 06, 2002 (3:34 am)
by the way, i guess i kinda went off without supporting my original statement too thoroughly. the main reason this should be a chrysler and not a jeep is because this would be the first jeep ever unable to pass the rubicon. jeep loyalist would go crazy over this and loyalist would stop buying jeep. so, make it a dodge or a chrysler.
#34 of 188 New market for the Jeep brand by ttbuyer Dec 06, 2002 (3:08 pm)
I dunno, I think that the Compass is pretty cool. Jeep has a great deal of credibility with the trail riding off-roaders, but the market is changing. Lots of new brands are expanding into the market that Jeep pioneered and initially owned. The Jeep brand needs to evolve to stay relevant (IMHO).   AWD rally cars like the Subaru WRX and the Mitsubishi EVO could be the target of the Compass. Jeep would have to sell it as "a different kind of off road experience for a different generation" or something like that.   I think that Jeep's real appeal is that it is a brand for individualists or "mavericks", and that image should be maintained, but I don't think that they need to be slavishly devoted to Rubicon trial minority.    Unless you actually go off road, owning a Jeep is just like owning any other car (or truck) and many, many folks buy Jeeps simply because they look cool and of course, the VAST majority of Jeep owners never go off the pavement.   I don't see any rational reason why hardcore Jeepers would be more offended an AWD Compass than they would be by a 2WD Liberty (like my wife's car).

I think the compass should be made under Chrysler and so should of the liberty. They should of kept the cherokee also. Look what they say about the liberty. "They say the Jeep Liberty is for their older sister, and the Grand Cherokee is for their parents." I will be looking to replace my daily driver and I am interested in the XJ but I not going to buy a liberty. If Jeep keeps going this way I just won't ever buy a new Jeep again. They will probably ruin the wrangler in the near future. Maybe I can get a rubicon and stretched TJ out of them before they start chasing trends.

#37 of 188 This info came out on the Compass Aug. 31 by jefferson1964 Aug 31, 2003 (10:21 pm)
Additional Info on Compass and Another Jeep Debuting in 2004 - posted Sunday, August 31, 2003   I'm a sucker for spy shots. With that in mind, I was checking out PopularMechanics.com and saw this snippet on Jeep's plans for the 2004 model year in their "Spy Reports" area:   2004 Jeep Compass   Word out of DaimlerChrysler is that the Compass will definitely be coming to your Jeep dealer within a year. Simply stated, the Compass is a modified Liberty. The major difference from the Liberty is the 2-door body style. Another difference, this more important to Jeep, is that the Compass will be less costly to build than the Liberty. Jeep wants an entry-level model in the Liberty line, and instead of taking features out of the Liberty, the company plans to have the new Compass fill that bill.   2004 Baby Jeep   Reports say that two low-priced Jeeps will make their appearance in dealer showrooms starting in the 2004 model year. Slightly smaller than the Liberty, the new models will feature fewer frills, smaller engines, and niceties that normally boost SUV prices out of reach of younger buyers. The aim is to get buyers into the Jeep fold at an earlier age. What will the new vehicles look like? They'll be easily recognizable as Jeep products, similar in exterior design to Jeep Compass and Willys2 concepts.
#39 of 188 NIce concept - bad production by cgriswold Oct 20, 2005 (12:02 pm)
Have you see the production Jeep Compass? I looks like the Aztec has a little buddy!   To bad! the concept was a great ride and an off road vehicle. The production car is to much pimped out civic want-a-be with a bit of Gremlin (rear side window) tossed in.   http://www.cardesignnews.com/autoshows/2005/frankfurt/highlights/index4.php#car21   sorry to say it!   C Griswold
#40 of 188 Do ya really need it? by dialm4speed Nov 01, 2005 (11:02 pm)
I don't think Jeep/Chrysler needs the Compass or the Gladiator truck, and the Commander is too much too late! With gas prices as high as they are most people are looking toward cars, the suv craze is over! The design of the Compass is in a word BAD! It looks like that other piece O crap Chrysler is coming out with, the Caliber. Also, these hard core Jeep owners need to understand that most people don't buy a new Jeep and then take try to drive over a boulder with it. Most people that buy them want the looks and and aren't gonna ruin their new ride.
