This is a flop. People who buy from Jeep do not want something like this.

Gilles styled the hideous Cherokee. If they can keep him out of the styling studio, this might have a chance. Jeep needs this and if stylish and efficient, it will sell like mad and Chrysler needs that

This is obviously not the final styling of this baby Jeep. This is simply a mule. I like it for Fiat. I'm confident the final design will look like a Jeep.Frankly I would take this thing over a current Jeep Compass.Finally I think people need to get off the styling issue of the new Jeep Cherokee. In reality it is far more engineered vehicle than the old Jeep Liberty with an excellent on road and off road compromise.You cannot keep making the same car that is based on 50 yr. old technology and 50 yr old aerodynamics. Jeep has to appeal to a wider audience than just Jeep fans.

Looks like a coffin on wheels. Only GM can design such nonsense.
