consensus on new commander?
 

So what's the consensus on how the commander stacks up? I'm in need of
replacing my ancient Cherokee and the 0% deals on the commander make it
worth considering.

Anyone here actually have one?

Sat in one at the state fair, but that's as close as I'll probably get.

Boxy, very boxy, and confining. Not quite as boxy as the new Land
Rover and not near as much cheap plastic, but it still didn't make
me feel either safe or comfy behind the wheel.

I think they went and tried to copy Hummer and accommodate the
class A, hypertensive, cigar puffing, red faced, intolerant boob
that usually can be found behind the wheel.

As for how it drives, dunno. But it left me with the impression I
needed to be about 7' tall, 300lb, cigar smoking, steroid driven
governor to feel like I fit in it.

Re: consensus on new commander?
 

If you can get the financing on a Grand Cherokee I would go with that.

I've only seen the Commander at the dealership when the kids bought their
Grand Cherokee. While my opinion is not as strong as Doug's I cannot see
myself in one.

Ultimately it comes down to what you want and what you want to do with it
once you have it.
