saw '05 G.C...
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E about sums up this gawkey looking p.o.s. From the
back it looks much like an Aztec...the gas tank hangs down below the
driver's seat..(duhh) ..it has the same 2 cast iron tuna cans hanging on
the rear end as that other mistake, the liberty has...there area 2 tapered
sled runners...or; something...running from the "axle" (huh?) to the rear
bumper area....maybe they're to help the vehicle slide down rocks or
something? The over-all styling is a mish-mash; of bl0bs and slabs and
bumps that have absolutely no continuity. In short, it makes AMC's spiffy ZJ
design look even more spectacular. Jeep, and its concept, is dead..except
for AMC's Wrangler design which is still more or less intact, except for
that goofy, ill-fitting dash that was heisted from another vehicle. Alas,
Jeep is now a foreign vehicle, and foreign it certainly looks. Krysler said
its goal is to make "Jeeps" more car-like. They're;succeeding. As I've
said before, Chrysler does not know what a jeep is, and what a jeep is for.
And it certainly shows. I'm guessing this vehicle will have wide appeal
among the intelliduncia.

That was my opinion. However the local Jeep dealer is offering a
free stopwatch/compass thingy (and food) to go see one, so what the heck. :)

Exactly what they are there for. To keep from ripping off the rear bumper.
Too bad they don't extend far enough to actually work.

Re: saw '05 G.C...
Bravo! I looked at my local dealer's first one on the lot this AM. It has
your basic go-to-the-market, bland SUV look, no ground clearance, the fuel
tank is ahead of the rear axle, and hangs BELOW the unibody side
rails.(..DUH!!!!) Plus it has the spare under the vehicle, and some stupid
looking runners on either side running to the rear x-member. Same stupid,
low hanging lower A-arms as the liberty, but also has a front air dam that
will get torn off on the first rocky trail. The x-fer case lever is gone,
replaed by electric switches (I suppose we should be grateful it still has a
transfer case.) Nope, not a Jeep.
Two Jeep Models are now gone, replaced by --------: Cherokee and Grand. One
more to go before this brand is toast: Good Work Daimler!!!!!
