The Patriot is what the Liberty should've looked like in the first place (is that what's going to happen? I can't read Italian =P) They've got to be kidding with that Compass thing.

i'm really digging the top one, but both of these are FWD right?

These are both Caliber-based with AWD.

poop. The patriot looks soo nice. too bad it's not a real jeep.

A rugged looking sport wagon? I don't get it. :blink:

Don't pretend that you're unaware of the fact that consumers haven't been chasing after similar vehicles since the Outback and RAV4 in the mid-90s.

Yes, the Outback came to my mind, but this is different. This thing is low to the ground and has huge rims w/ rubberband tires that make it unfit even for just a two-track.

At least the Outback and RAV4 are somewhat decent off the beaten path with their ground clearance and decent sidewall.

I don't care for either of them. Especially the bottom one.

I'm sure a car-based Jeep would be at least as capable as an Outback or RAV4.

I really like the Compass actually. I know it's not quite true to Jeep's heritage, but IMO it looks great! The Patriot looks really nice too. How many Jeeps are there gonna be now, six? That seems a bit too many, I think.
