Yes Max it was less expensive than the ZJ but not by much. My point was despite what they are NOW back in the day they were a status symbol. Keep in mind who generally bought the XJ back then. Yuppies. As much as we don't want to admit it, it's true. The reason we have so many affordable and very capable XJ's is because they were the Yuppie thing to have. Think about what I said. In 91 the sticker price for a Limited was the same price as what you can get a brand new Honda Accord TODAY. Think Chrysler was making a profit? Oh ya.

I think everyone here should boycott this jeep and send a message to the manufacturer by disowning your current rigs. I will hold em for you.

So it looks like the only jeep worth a damn these days are the jk's? The new grands don't seem like they'd be very good at wheeling. Very sad
this pos just looks like a bigger version of the new cheorkee

Never thought i'd see the day toyota made more wheelable plattforms than jeep.

It is sad to see Jeep now when you think of how easy this brand is to design and produce.
1) Open top 4-wheel drive vehicle
2) Enclosed 4-wheel drive vehicle
3) Pickup
4) Fancy enclosed 4-wheel drive vehicle
Share engines, axles, body work, etc amongst the first 3. Offer all in heavy offroad versions (tow package, etc).
It's really not that hard. Except now jeep produces the wrangler and a car and a fancy big car and 2 bastardized cherokees. It makes me think that being a manager of development is a pretty sweet gig. You can be incompetent and still get paid.
