Autogefühl spotted the all new Jeep ComPatriot replacement, the facelifted CTS, and the facelifted Nissan Pathfinder. After seeing all this ‘Murican Market goodness in Yurop (I heard ya’ll got a Georgia over there too!), I have a few questions I would like your thoughts on.

What do you think the new Jeep will be called?
It will sit between the Renegade and Cherokee...yes, there is room, in fact Jeep currently has two models in that segment! I would love a Jeep Pioneer m’self.

What would you like to see in the future CT5?
With this upcoming refresh of the CTS, we probably only have two more years of the model that has defined “New” Cadillac. The nameplate will die, but the badging will look the same because Caddy’s font makes “S” and “5" look alike anyways.

Lastly, do you even care about a refreshed Pathfinder? While we are talking about Nissan, are you ready for a new Frontier and Quest? Wait, what?! YOU CAN STILL BUY A BRAND NEW NISSAN QUEST?!!! *dies like the Xterra, surprisingly but easily forgotten*

The Compass and Patriot are great sellers and so it would make sense to keep one of the names. Also, if its anything but a hyper cheap AWD alternative to the XV its going to bomb...my 2 cents.

I don’t think the names actually matter in this case. Those two oddballs are actually bigger and mostly cheaper than the subcompact CUVs like the HRV, CX3, and Renegade. That alone is enough to catch most eyes, but add on the Jeep logos and heavily discounted and I think that’s more why they sell than the nameplates. I think the Patriot is more likely to survive than the Compass though, but I think that’s an odd name for a global vehicle since patriot doesn’t have the same context as it does in the US.

Yes to selling cause its cheap, which is why I think it just needs to be a cheaper “jeepier” Subaru XV to win. It doesn’t have to be better, just a better value. As for the patriot name, you have a point there...the Jeep Liberty was the Cherokee globally.

What do you think the new Jeep will be called? Jeep Liberty?

Honestly, I’d like the CT5 to be a four door coupe that’s a CLS competitor and the CT4 replaces the CTS. Cadillac shouldn’t really be selling cars at a low or entry level price point until their luxury reputation comes back.

I hope not. The Liberty was a turd.

How about a Jeep Eagle! It’d be kinda ironic since there is not longer any AMC DNA in the Jeep Brand.

Eminem predicted it.“So please leave me with the keys to your Jeep Eagle”
