Re: NY auto show pics
I don't see a market for the ST-8.
Daimler doesn't have a utility vehicle like the Land Rover where
ugly is not a factor, but ability is, so the Commander may save their
a**.

Actually, it's refreshing to see a body designed for function instead of
slavishly following latest faddish future-fantasy 'look'. Yes, it's a
big friggin box, but it fits three-row tiered seating without
significantly bloating the wheelbase and overall dimensions of a Grand.
Returning to utility is a good direction for Jeep. Unfortunately, the
performance design priority is for car-like handling and ride comfort
(marginal ground clearance, independent front suspension, electronic
anti-roll crap). Not much of an offroader and therefore not much of a
Jeep. Still, they'll sell a pile of these in suburbia.

Re: NY auto show pics
Commander is competition for Suburban, Armada, Expedition, et al. Meant
to look like an XJ crossed with a Land Rover. The Rescue concept was
aimed at the Hummer H2. Actual H3 competitor will probably be Gladiator
and variants thereof.
