What changed in 97? I know about square headlights to round, and coil
springs instead of leafs, both changes I could take or leave.

Now however, we are faced with a Hummer clone and minivan engine. I may
warm to the PT-like interior, but never the Unlimited's body design, and
the jury's still out on the engine. I seriously doubt it will EVER
prove to be as durable at the 4.0's.

Why not get a smaller and more powerful Grand Cherokee?

There have been a few in these parts, the four doors.
I think they are kind of cool.
I stopped and looked at one on the local lot and the guys were in it
checking it out, They tried to convince me I should trade mine in, I told
them it wasn't my type of rig, nice but not for me.

I would not go buy one as a replacement vehicle for my TJ but if I needed a
four door anything, oh hell yea, I'd run out and get one right now.

They have a lot of options for comfort, though I have not driven one they
appear to be comfortable on the inside and I like the look of them.
ESPECIALLY the black and the green.

No, they aren't the classic look that everyone has become accustomed to, but
they are a damn fine looking rig.

Sadly, all things must change or they become stagnant.

Oh AND
The two I have seen on the road so far, have been driven by 40 something
white males... so much for stereotypes.

If tehe engine is anything like the one in the Liberty, it may not be a good
thing.
The libby needed more suds for it'ws weight. I would have liked to have seen
this larger rig come with a small V8 or some REAL horsepower.
