Ok, what do you guys think? Finally, official photos of the Commander. Clearly the reviewer HATES Jeeps for some reason. Ignore his "blog" but check out the photos!!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />OH, and they had a blurb on the Grand Cherokee SRT-8?<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Sean

The Commander looks like a Rover mated with the Sport... The Cherokee looks nice<br /><br />I had a really, really, really bad experience with a 2002 Cherokee so I personally wouldn't buy one but they do look nice.

They do look like nice vehicles, but i have never found Chrysler products to be very appealing :(

Then EF, you should take a drive in my GC. It is unreal at the comfort and power and the handling.

The commander is ugly. It looks like they took the old cherokee and stapped a liberty front on it. <br /><br />The commander is a bigger than a Grand Cherokee right?? I loved my old GC but it wasn't big enough, so I was hoping the commander would be my next vehicle. Not now.<br /><br />The GC SRT 8 looks cool. But I personally want my jeeps to be off roaders not fancy boulevard cruisers. JMO

Ummm no. To use your comparison.... they took the Liberty and slapped the old Cherokee front end on it...<br /><br />I'll put the Commander up against the Suburban, Yukon, and Armada... and it will win.<br /><br />Sean

Yea I did mix that up. I just looked up more pictures and still don't like how it looks. <br /><br />Win against suburban, armada... What does that mean?

It's good to be passionate about something. <br /><br />The Jeep Liberty CRD is most likely the next jeep to find it's way to our garage. :D

Ok, for one thing, you can't tow with the new srt GC. Where would you put the hitch? The tailpipes are where the hitch should be.

Lester, I didn't know your truck has four wheel disc brakes. Cool. That's a sweet ride for sure.
