Suprised the Patriot is not on that list. I have seen 1 so far and nearly a billion Commanders

Ida know where you drive butI see a whole helluva lot more Patriots on the road than I ever have Commanders.

The Commander is just a humongous gas hog. I can see why the call it the Commander, it Commands you to feed it more and more gas at the pumps. LoL although I think it was a nice looking SUV its just one of the most uneconomical ones that Jeep has produced and it's sales numbers are proof positive that it simply isn't a cost effective vehicle for Jeep/Chrysler to keep producing.

I see alot of Patriots, and quite a few commnders, the one I think they need to axe is the compass.

Axe the Compass and Patriot.

What about gas mileage? Don't buy a Jeep. Their supposed to be off-road vehices, at least more so than most other brands. If you want fuel economy in the small-size SUV type vehicle, than keep the DodgeCaliber or Journey or whatever the heck its sister is and have them by that.

You don't expect to go to a Caddy dealer and find a Cadillac version of the Chevy Cobalt or Aveo, do you? Why: because Cadillacs are known for luxury on good sized cars.
Why should Jeep polute their lineup wih FWD, non-off-road-capable vehicles? It's just bringing down the good name of Jeep.


I'd love a new Cherokee. I don't really have an issue with the Commander. I do think it's a little too big and boxy looking, but, thats Jeep I guess. I liked the simpler days with 3 Jeep vehicles (the Cherokee, not the Liberty so much).
