When the Jeep Liberty debuted in 2002, it was the alternative off-roader. Its doe-eyed headlights and curvy cute looks were a hit with everyone but Jeep enthusiasts, who found their Rubicon sense of machismo unhinged; the ultimate man’s brand was being shopped by women.
With the latest Liberty, Jeep seems to be showing us that the way forward looks like the Commander. Is that a good thing, or simply a way to make you think “Commander” when time comes to replace your Libby?
Well, much like the Nissan Pathfinder - bigger, squarer, the 2008 Jeep Liberty takes the round edges and creases them up.
