Default 2006 Jeep Commander real hands on review

I know there's been a lot of discussion on the looks of the new Jeep Commander, I personally do not mind its looks, lots of vehicles & people do not photograph that well.

To pinch a section of the writers review

"We are happy to announce that the 2006 Jeep Commander was worth the wait.

"The Commanders boxy appearance is the result of Jeep’s intention to portray simplicity and strength. We think it works. People who liked the old Jeep Cherokee stand a good chance of liking the Commander. For those that don’t like what they have seen in pictures, understand that the Commander is not a very photogenic vehicle. The lines and proportions work much better in person to create a distinctively utilitarian look."

"The Commander won’t keep up with a BMW X5 on a twisty mountain roads but once the pavement ends the X5 will get left in the dust. Our kind of test"

I will probably get flamed here, but with that step up in the roof it sort of looks like one of the older shape discoveries

Too low for that, I was thinking more Subaru Sports Wagon!
But maybe they were just going off the Beiging Jeep?
