Song name?
I have to agree with you. It is sad that capable, simple to work on, and reliable off road Jeeps are pretty much a thing of the past. There really hasn’t been a ‘proper’ replacement for the original Cherokee.
The thing us regular people (that buy used) have to remember is that OE’s sell NEW cars. They don’t sell used cars that get upfitted and modified. They have to appeal to the NEW car buyer, and very very few of them do REAL offroading. (as you know, gravel alleyways don’t count 😉 )
No articulation is in no off road condition a good thing, and any offroader with experience will tell you that independent suspensions and front wheel drive, by nature, is going to create a weaker and less durable drivetrain in offroad conditions than their “outdated” counterparts. If your first Jeep was a wk grand cherokee this is probably not bad to you. But if you, like me, grew up in Jeeps that were capable, simple to work on, and reliable, and that’s all they were, you’re gonna miss that.
You’re missing the point, this is suppose to be a Jeep not a Fiat, this vehicle should have been branded Fiat not Jeep. The compass is another vehicle that should have been branded chrysler not Jeep. The Cherokee is suppose to be simple, rugged, a jack of all trades and master of none, not this sorry excuse of a Jeep. It should be branded a Fiat Fairy
They need to go back to the simple, no bullsh*t, straight forward, pure off road capable Jeep Cherokee! Live Rubicon axles, locking diffs, new Penstar V6, LOW crawl ratio, & better door seals! Just BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL CHEROKEE WITH UPGRADES…… Why did you try to fix what wasn’t broke?
That is not an Xj or a jeep anymore
If only it had a solid front axle. Then you could call it a jeep . Looks like a Honda to me.
What is that doing out in Moab? I’ve seen videos of a Ford Taurus driving around Moab. I challenge you to bring that thing to East Tennessee and lets see if it can follow a real Cherokee.
My Fav Jeep!! i will get one asap!! Stop hatin and go get a wrangler if u dont like this model…..smdh
se per te questa non è una jeep ……. “nonrompercazzo”…comprate una wrangler.
4 litre jeeper makes me laugh. “Ugly” (okay I’ll give him that) “Bad MPG, Sucky 4WD” Whaaa? I mean Whaaa?
The vehicle is not even out yet, and you claim it gets bad mpg, and has a sucky 4WD system? You must me clairvoyant!
As for “No Flex” Uh, Thats a good thing! It means the trim won’t rattle, squeak and fall off in no time flat.
If y’all wants an old 4wd, just buy one! Don’t bitch that the new one isn’t an old one.
People of Jeep/FIAT, please kill this Cherokee/Alfa Romeo and bring something like the old “XJ” with the V6 Pentanstar! LIke you did with the Wrangler, ok? Got IT?
Exactly!
wonderfull, great diesel engine?
sin palabras espero que tenga version a diesel con motor de bajo consumo. tecnologicamente avanzado.
Ugly, bad mpg, sucky 4wd system, NO flex, did i mention UGLY!!! Not a true jeep. Take that mess back to Italy.
I would consider if it had a solid front axel. But ifs hells no.
