Wasn't obvious in the one I saw.... So if it's there it's well hidden menu wise.

Totally agree. Even the rear lights look goofy. They should've kept the previous design, just add the LED's, that way, they would've made more sales just on lights from all those previous WK2 owners.

I prefer bigger lights at the front like WH's, WG's and prior models because it's easier to design a bar and they look more tough. Small lights look... I don''t know...

Yep, one of the main reasons (though there are quite a few others as well) why I decided not to wait for the MY14 and bought a MY13.

I disagree (for what its worth), I think the updated lights front and rear give it some much needed edge.

While I like and will probably end up with a 11-13 model when we finally do pull the trigger (used), I think it is a little too featureless and smooth.

I too saw the white Laredo at Salters Moorooka - lined up between a 13 White Laredo and a White Trailhawk (which had the 14 details too), and the 13 really looked a little pedestrian next to them.

While you wouldnt want to go too far like the new Hyundai's, all angles and edges (or like the new Cherokee ), I dont think you want to go too far the other way either - like a Territory, one big smooth lump of plastic

The filling in with the black plastic around the headlights gives some detail and accents, and breaks up the form a bit... IMHO

I can confirm the first MY14 CRD overland has been sold, registered, insured and driven away from Werribee Jeep in Victoria today. One very happy owner. He put me in touch with the sales manager and I have just upgraded my Cherokee KK to a new MY14 CRD Laredo ready for pick up August. So they are not myths any more.

Come on these are 2013 vehicles with a facelift nothing more. In Australia the only thing that counts are the dates on the compliance plate and that will be on your rego from now on. When you eventually sell it, it will be a 2013 no matter what you tell people. This is just marketing at work.
