New Jeep Grand Chicory
 

Yeah, it's got a Hemi in it. Fine and dandy. Problem is, it's UGGGGGLEE!
Looks like one of the rejected designs for the new/current Dodge Durango.
Taillights are the stupid kind and look like the design that almost went
on the Chevrolet Equinox until someone at Chevrolet said "Clear
taillights! No! Dude! We TOTALLY have to do clear taillights!"

Ptewph.

The ones I've seen on the road have made me think that perhaps they're
trying to recapture some of the XJ Cherokee's fans. To me it looks
boxier, and the lines are cleaner and straighter, more reminiscent of
the XJ than the WJ. This is so especially when viewed from behind.

The wrap-around taillights suck, I agree. OTOH, I like the round
headlamps and how they integrate the shape into the leading edge of the
hood.

Boo! on the V6 replacing the I6; SUV engines ought to have low-end
grunt. That I6 was an institution, and it deserved to be updated rather
than discarded.
