it has 8.6" of clearance to an xj's 10.6", not too bad. stock front/rear electronic lockers, ability to seat 7 people, waaaaay more powertrain options, and rusty's offroad is already lifting one for a project and is promising aftermarket support in the very near future. hey at least it's not a hummer!

I think the Commander looks like an "Americanized" Range Rover.

Both me and the misses thought it said hummer all over the front end. Yeah, I can see it with about 6" of lift and some 33`s. dont know what it has for power but a hemi would be cool I suppose. Its looks cool in the commercials but in the flesh it looks out of porportion. Bigger tires would be an improvement definatly.

They just need to bring back the XJ.

You can't really say the front end looks like a hummer, because when the H2 first came I think chrysler had a word with GM about coping the "trade mark jeep" grill design. I like the comander for what it is. I'd take it over a dodge Durango. Which is what it is based off of.

yeah really... im guessing the first time people looked at the 7 slot grille on the Hummers they were thinking... is that some kinda jeep?

Don't forget the MJ. Jeep needs a pick-up, and I don't think the Gladiator concept is gonna cut it.

I saw a AEV brute a few weeks back in Bloomington, Indiana.
I really wish something like that would hit the market.
But, you can wish in one hand and crap in the other. See which gets filled up first.

Ok for everyone that thinks it looks like a Hummer GET A STRONGER PAIR OF GLASSES!!!!! Second even though I would love to see the XJ back into production this is as close as its going to get we just have to learn to accept it.

Wait, what? The new H3 would put the beat-down on the Commander! Let's not even get to how bad the H1 would dominate it. :gag:

They need to put a solid front axle under the new Jeep Patriot. Its the closest looking thing to an XJ that jeep has has out in the last few years.
Too bad it might only be front or all wheel drive. :mad:

That new commander reminds me of a XJ on steroids. I may just have to pick one up in a few years. By the way, the Cherokee still lives over here in Japan. Too bad though it's just a Liberty. It is kind of a disgrace to the Cherokee.

Nah, if that were the case it'd have a nitro'd quad-turbo V12 from the new ME Four and be running a 20" lift and tank treads. :laugh3:
