Can anyone enlighten me as to wtf is up with the term "cherocar"

[MaxxXJ]

I've came across more pics lately with cherocar and i just don't see the humor with it... Maybe someone can fill me in?

For the same reason that this club is occasionally known as the North American Station Wagon Association.

Keep in mind that someone used a XJ in the GrassRoots Motorsports Challenge (I think in 2011). It actually did pretty well.

I think it's supposed to be a dig at the Cherokee for being Unibody.

Just the typical inter-manufacturer squabbling. Kind of like how they used to call Mopars "weezers" in the late 60/early70s, how everybody says "Found On Road Dead". Stuff like that. Either ignore it or embrace it.


And know that the "Cherocar" weighs less and wheels better then most anything else out there when it was new, for years after, and still manages a respectable showing almost 30 years after it was designed.

Ive heard the term thrown around by framed jeep guys. They think xj's are meant for pavement, hence the "car". Embrace it, show them that your car can hold its own everywhere their "real jeeps" can if not more.

Just imagine wheeling a Soccer mom van with a truck engine..

I thought it was a play on the "because racecar" meme.

"Cherocar" has been around a lot longer than memes have been popular....
