No way is DCX killing any of the current Jeeps....and here's why:

1) Grand Cherokee makes them too much money
2) Liberty is now the #1 small SUV in terms of sales (just recently overtook the "Ferd" Escape)
3) Wrangler - "Jeep Guys" would go CRAZY if they killed this thing...this the face of the entire brand (besides..remember what happened when they put square headlights on it?)
4) Commander - expansion of GC line - was probably pretty cheap to do
5) Trying to expand the brand with Compass / Patriot (which I heard only one was going to going be built until they decided to do both)

Your friend is mis-wired....

OOOO yea to explain a little more, maybe to make more sense too, from what Ive heard, the reason Jeep is having so many vechiles coming out is to expand their market demographic.... basically so more people with different ideas about what a good car is can still be able to have a Jeep and the "go anywhere" attitude

who said earlier that they are also using the liberty platform for other things so they wouldn't kill that.
There's that also

the wrangler doesn't sell well.

Haha, complete BS. Liberty sells real well and theres the thing about the Nitro. And, come one, the GC being discontinued? I think not.
