CAR WARS! In A Head-to-Head Of RUGGED-ish SUVs, WHICH Gets YOUR Vote? Cherokee Vs. Crosstrek...

Tonight I was on my way to pick up a dear friend at the airport. While driving on the New Jersey Turnpike I came side-by-side with a slightly modified Subaru Crosstrek.

Although I am a small fan of Subaru products, this vehicle never really caught my eye. This particular one though made me realize "Hey, it's a pretty cool vehicle for what it is." Clearly, I am not alone in the New York Tri-state region as Crosstreks are pretty popular in these parts.

That got me thinking: What would be the best competitor for this vehicle?

To me, it seems that the best competitor for this rugged-ish SUV would be the Jeep Cherokee. Both are quirky, both have a rugged vibe, they are similar in size and they're close in price.

So, I've got to ask: IF you were to choose between one or the other, WHICH SUV would get your vote?

What's it gonna be, Spies? The Cherokee or the Crosstrek?

Not a customer for either (prefer one size up) but really like many of the the non-metallic colors offered on both Jeeps and Subaru's.

I'm not a customer for either as well. Not into the wukka thukka sound of the Subaru engine that will leak oil all over the garage floor when it's a couple of years old. The Cherokee isn't a Cherokee. It's a Dart station wagon with horrible problems.
