The compass is ugly period. the caliber is good, and so is the patriot. The det news just did a rather negative report on the compass in wed. paper. Most thought it wasn't "Jeep" enough.

yeah i read it...

 

Detroit news sucks... LOL Just reinforces the point about the Caliber not being an SUV...

Compass isn't one, but the Caliber is?

i like the compass better then that Caliber...but I have yet to see the compass in person.

 

All Jeep builds are suvs, you'd agree there. Having said that and the Caliber being a sister vehicle explains why it's an suv. Label it anything you want, but it's just a small suv. Just look at how high the seats are for example.

 

it is a hatchback.

jeep has made trucks and etc. 1/2 the problem with the compass is it is not a regular jeep. it is a hatchback labeled as a jeep.

 

Correct, which is why the D News bashed it... right....? right...

 

I would think so but lets look at the AMC WAGON Suvs or whatever they were.... too far ahead of their time but ugly as hell. Thats the difference between these ......except they arent meant to go off-road for any reasons. I'd imagine that America is ready for a solid looking econobox that isnt so sub-standard when it comes to size. Take the Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant of the K-car era. When will that ever make it to a "pimp my ride"?
