I think one of the big wigs at Jeep Chrysler should come on here and hear what the jeep enthusiast feel and have to say about the new WK 2. I don't think it's a bad looking vehicle. just a few things that we've pointed out that they should consider ya know.

I mean, you're never going to please EVERYBODY when you launch a new model vehicle.

While I think it's important for any manufacturer to listen to it's customers about input for new vehicles, they certainly aren't obligated to do so. I'm not saying you think they are, just stating it.

It's also important to recognize that all of us on this forum are an elite enthusiast population compared to the average Jeep Grand Cherokee owner. Think about how small of a group people like us really are... think about how many soccer-moms and people alike drive a GC and could care less about the generally minute complaints we may have about the new GC.

Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat isn't out to please a small group of enthusiast, they are out to make money... if that means skimping on a few features or designing it a certain way, believe me they're going to do it.


It's important to view it from both sides.

Meh. You guys... lol

The WK series 1 wasn't in the style of the WJ was it. I would never have considered a WJ, yet a bought a WK1. It was just different to what Jeeps had been before, and attracted a lot of new buyers.
The WKII will do the same, most traditional Jeep buyers will get one regardless, and they'll attract new buyers who hadn't previously considered a Jeep with the new styling.

95% of the population makes their purchasing decisions based upon looks and interior ambience.
The 5% like me base it more on performance and technical advances.
Good thing for Jeep is, I quite like the look of the new one, AND it seems to have retained and improved the biggest, gruntiest engines available in the market sector, along with some great new features :D

I heard from milous that they were changing things and some thought that the lights were on the list, but it's been speculation and nothing more.
