Dood you need a history lesson.

Have a look at an XJ. Then tell me that the Commander looks like a Hummer.

Geez, Jeep can't take a trick. They build a stylish, super capable wagon called Grand Cherokee and everyone bags it because it looks too soft compared to the XJ it was supposed to replace. Then they bring back something that looks just like the XJ, only bigger, and everyone now says 'it's too boxy, it looks like a Hummer'.

Go buy a bloody Toymota. See if I care.

Hey,
Seeing that I've stirred you up I might take it a little further in saying that when considering the worlds (thats worlds, not america's) oil resource stocks, that the commanders design, petrol engine size, and poor aero dynamics represent irresponsible and regressive thinking...
By the way I didn't bag the new grand' and actually purchaced a CRD 05' KJ despite the brands woeful quality, drive, and engineering record as I believed jeep were on a new, more progressive path! I was wrong, it seems even with the merc' influence that jeep are still stuck in a time warp and as such will fail to catch-up, keep-up and be competetive with the likes of "Toymota", as you put it.

well I heard GM are apparently pulling the plug on Hummer production (anyone know anything of this?) if this is so, maybe the commander will capitilise on that market? Just guessing out loud.

The commander lifted with 33+s looks okay from what ive seen, ill have to see one up close to finalise the decison on whether i like it or not. Photos are not doing much for me to be honest.

Only the H1 is being stopped not the H2 and H3 which are just bodies on other Chev platforms.

i believe the boxy look is comming back.. the newest nissan patrol is going back boxy'ish and it may only be me but here in Adelaide there seems to be more older 4wds than there has ever been b4.. and by older its the Mavs, patrols and jeep shapes.. i dont think most people are worryed to much about fuel if there is more now than b4.
