2007 Patriot, built for the Cherokee loyalist

I think Jeep should be touting this as the new XJ.

That is exactly what I thought Gil.

Not sure if it was the silver paint that made me think that or not...

Don't get me wrong...

I just got back from SEMA. I got the opertunity to see the new Wrangler 4 door up close and personal. All I can say is the XJ has nothing on the new Jeep. It is a awesome piece of equipment. I seen about 50 different ones from stock to full blown show rigs with Hemis. The market is going to explode with new parts for them. I got to see the Compass and Patriot as well. I am not impressed one bit. The new JK is just plain awesome.

On the other hand I got to drive the FJ Cruiser on a course Toyota set up. That is one damn impressive little rig. IFS or not. There is no way a bone stock XJ could ever follow a FJ. They are crazy stable and the traction control is really smooth. I had to lock the rear axle 1 time on a 10 minute course. If Jeep looks into some of the things Yota has done and put them into a new vehicle than I am all for it.

I am a die hard Mopar man and I love my XJ but I am really leaning towards a JK or a FJ.

The toyotas are fine if you don't mind driving an Easter Egg.

I think they are the fugliest 4X4 made today.

I don't like them....nothing more...nothing less. If you took a minute to read my post. (i obviously didn't support the Bush/Cheney agenda) you'd have seen WTF i was talking about.

I could care less about your political stance. And quite honestly, "I don't like them....nothing more...nothing less" is the most considered reason I've seen so far in this thread.

I've read a couple of your classified critiques. I don't need to to justify my position to someone that browbeats private citizens attempting to sell their property....fawking hypocrite.

*Shrug* if it's posted in public and seems like a dumb idea, expect the public to call you out on it. Nothing hypocritical about that.

While i was annoyed by the feeler status of their threads....these posts still made you an a$$hole. I don't have a problem with you....just check your own posts before you go after someone else.

I am an a**hole, and I call it as I see it. No problem with you either; I'm just trying to understand what it is that people don't like about this particular vehicle beyond the usual 'LOLZ ITS TEH GHEY' replies I've been seeing for months.

First impressions are everything (vehicles, relationships, etc). If you don't like the looks of something (i'm guessing that's 90%+ of the people in this thread) you aren't going to give it a chance.
