MOST BEAUTIFUL


1966-1986 Jeep Wagoneer - Love the basic shape of these things, especially the 1960s and 1970s version. For me hands down the most beautiful Jeep product.





1980-1986 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo - Hey, I'm an '80s kid. This truck was part of my look-what-they-drive-on-American-beaches-in-movies experience! Looks tough and iconic. I also like the same basic shape of the Wrangler models.








UGLIEST


1962-1970 Jeep Gladiator - The basic shape isn't ugly, but that front just looks goofy. For some reason the same treatment does not bother me as much on the pre-1966 Wagoneers (they still look terrible), but here on a pickup design it looks awful.

There isn't a single Jeep I'd call "beautiful".  They range between handsomely utilitarian to ugly utilitarian.

I had a clear idea of what my favorite Jeep would be (the Wagoneer and the Laredo/Wrangler), but only because of nostalgia. Both of these cars were literally in every American movie I saw when I was growing up. Although I am not an SUV guy, the Wagoneer does look good. I think it is an SUV styling icon.

New JGC is a nice-looking truck.

The early Patriots and new Cherokee make the ugly list.

These old vehicles are a real kick in the ass to drive- not fast, but fun.  :ohyeah:

No offense, I find them ugly. ;)

The basic shape is inoffensive, but that front design looks goofy. Same here, the Grand Cherokee for the Chinese market (Jeep 2500) - a nice basic design ruined by a nasty front.

Alternatively this one could

Bitch please, that was a terrible half-assed attempt at humour.

No such thing as a beautiful Jeep.  There are cool Jeeps and good-looking Jeeps, but not beautiful Jeeps.  There are certainly ugly Jeeps, too, especially when those Compatriot abominations were released, as mentioned already.

FWIW the XJ is one of my favorite Jeeps (and one of their best looking IMO).

In general though I'd agree with this assessment:

I think it's a stretch to call any of them beautiful. Most Jeeps, especially pre-2000s, looked "purposeful" but not much more than that.

The first Liberty looked good. It was hugely popular here.

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's beautiful, but I think it's a very cleanly styled SUV.
