I like it too, best one of the group in my opinion.

I think the term, "Trying too hard" is the first thing I can think of.

I think the color scheme is horrific, but I kind of dig the vehicle outside of that.

I dig it, the orange greenhouse trim is...um...silly though.

I believe they have to. Not a single hard-core jeeper would let this generation of Cherokee in their club. I'm sure Jeep knows it has to prove this new model's worth the marquee, especially to their most loyal.

Oh, I really dislike the red trim on the wheels, grille, and window trim.

I agree. That flat silver is excellent though and incredibly flattering to the design of the Cherokee.

I think I like it cause it's a fresh idea for EJS, not the same old stuff.

I've seen a few of these new Cherokees in the wild (thought not the Dakar) and I really don't think they look as terrible in person.

/honey, where's my flamesuit?

I agree, I tried to convince my brother to get a Trailhawk, no sell.

Let's make all the red bits bright orange, symmetricize (I'm making it a word) those accents, and paint the silver part of the car bright orange and then we can talk. I'm a sucker for large fender flares and stand out tow hooks.

You can give it to me, but I'll give it right back. I'd drive the shit out of one of these.

Well, in that case, they're halfway there. Now, just send it over to the boys of SRT.

Get rid of the red/orange trim (except for the tow hooks) and replace the engine with the diesel V6. Like the silver, but would like to see in a dessert tan or OD green. Sold.

I'd love it more if I knew it could actually handle Dakar.

Personally, Jeep getting into WRC and Dakar would be great PR in my opinion. Makes for some good copy as they say.
