No! From the side it looks like a Mazda 7...honestly the outgoing Liberty had more cherokee worthy body lines than this. If only the Liberty has solid axles and a straight 6...

I just read that article... terrible lol. I think it mentioned a 9 speed auto trans. Seriously? As if Chrysler isnt notorious for weak trans already.... granted not in all vehicles but this seems like a terrible idea and costly choice lol

That jalopnik article is funny. They're comparing a 2014 cherokee that they (Chrysler/Fiat) customized and called trailhawk. They made it for "offroad". That article compares it to a STOCK XJ, and even then its only slightly better statistically. Stats are stats and that thing still looks like a fat korean kid's face.
I do like how they compare the XJ and AK-47 and its true, I recomend XJs to everyone regardless of what they want. Lol

From the AP article:
"
Chrysler disagrees, saying the new Cherokee has more low-gear power for towing and climbing steep grades than the 2001 Cherokee. At 184 horsepower, the base, four-cylinder engine is slightly less powerful than the 2001 Cherokee's base V6, but it's much more efficient. The new Cherokee also offers a 271-horsepower V6 and can tow up to 4,500 pounds, which is more than any other vehicle its size but about 500 pounds less than the 2001 version.
A Trailhawk edition of the new Cherokee carries Jeep's "trail rated" badge, which means it can handle a series of challenging off-road conditions, including fording water."
Lmao... V6? Think again! Also, trail rated badge? C'mon.
I like the quote that they used XJ88... sums it up.
