You are in the Jeep Commander Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
Are they kidding with this? Wow Chrysler must have really shelled out the big bucks to get the crack Bulgarian design team that sketched this monstrosity... I have rarely seen more conflicting shapes and angles on a vehicle. I really don't care how functional it is or how many people can fit in it, they should have stretched the new (and not that pretty either)Grand Cherokee if they needed the room. that vertical windshield makes me think of strange euro city cars, not rugged classic Jeeps

Yeah I have to say this thing is most unnatractive and shaped like a brick. I knew they were on that sort of styling kick looking at the 2005 JGC but gee moe netty this this thing looks awful. Too bad because they're dreaming if they think they'll sell 60-70K of these a year. I feel bad for Jeep because this is just the entry they need in the luxury SUV arena. M |

Replying to: teds1 (Mar 24, 2005 8:18 am) If it was designed to hold another row of passengers by utilizing an existing platform while staying consistent with the Jeep styling heritage, then they hit their target IMHO. Based upon the pictures it reminds me of the G500 or first generation Range Rover. I kinda like that look but I recognize that the style is not currently fashionable. Any cargo capacity information? |

much better than the Grand Cherokee, which it's based off. I think it's an excellent update of previous Jeep wagon design. I see a ton of Cherokee in it, as well early ('48 – '62) Willys station wagon. It's a Jeep, and it looks like a Jeep. Bob |

| I love the way the Jeep Commander looks. It goes right back to the roots of what a jeep should be- none of this, round edges that we see all the time. I think they are right on track. And I am excited to see how the public will take to a more retro look. | |
| I cannot wait to see it when it arrives at the dealers. It looks like a Jeep which is the way it should be; but bring back the inline-6! | |

| I like it. It reminds me of a muscled up Cherokee. A model that I miss after owing two ('94 and '97). | |

I look at the Jeep Commander as a vehicle with great potential. It is the first Jeep vehicle to seat more than 5. The Cherokee is a midsize vehicle but it lacks the seven passenger seating of the Explorer, TrailBlazer/Envoy, 4Rummer and the Pathfinder. The Cherokee seats only five and that also in very cramped conditions. The Commander is perfect for those who need off road ability as well as room for passengers and cargo. It's good the solid rugged looks that vehicles like the Explorer and 4Runner lack. As I hear it will also be offered with a HEMI engine, so power will be no problem. The only problem that I can forecast is fuel economy. Boxy vehicles have never gotten very good mileage. Also, hopefully Chrysler will spend some time and money in designing the interior so that the Commander is not criticised for having cheap interior pieces and poor build quality. The Commander is a great vehicle, the kind that was missing from the Jeep lineup for years. Now if only they would build the Gladiator concept.......
