Petiton to bring back the XJ!

a Petition I made to hopefully get Fiat Chrysler to redesign the new cherokees to be more like the old xjs. If you could sign it that would be excellent. They probably won't do it even if it gets lots of signatures, but its worth a shot.
keep on jeepin.

The JK's are their money makers. For those that can swing a new vehicle The Wrangler is a great vehicle. I can't believe I just posted this?
Ah! I can only scape up enough money to keep my XJ on the road.

The xj is an iconic suv
Doubt they will ever bring it back in the form it once was due to mpg and many other reasons
But
It's good to see you taking the time...
If everyone took a few minutes to invest in what they believe in, truly the world would be a different place.

I once spoke with the head of Jeep PR in North America about this. It's never going to happen. The 4.0 can't happen either. The KL isn't even marketed to people who like the XJ. That's what the JK is for. Seriously, if the KL looked like a modern XJ, XJ fans still wouldn't buy it.

Probably have a better chance of them bringing back a LJ type Wrangler.
XJ wheelbase 101". LJ 103"
XJ weight 3300, LJ 3700
Both have straight axles F and R, as opposed to this independent suspension on the new Cherokees. There is no other existing platform to build a new-old Cherokee, so the chances of them designing something totally new from the ground up for such a small segment of potential buyers is laughable at best.
The majority of SUV buyers nowadays are soccer moms who prefer comfort and tech gizmos over basic mechanical capabilities. And be honest, would you drop $30k on a brand new-old Cherokee to bang up or would you build 2 or 3 super capable old XJs?

The XJ doesn't get bad gas mileage. It's about as good as today's 12-20 MPG trucks and Jeeps.
Essentially, this will never come back. But it was nice while it lasted.
