The Compass 4x4 has a base sticker price of $17,585. The Compass Limited's base sticker price is $20,140. Base sticker price of the Compass Limited 4x4 is $21,740. All prices include shipping.
I hear that the price of the Patriot is supposed to be under that of the Compass. Possibly why its being not coming out until the Compass has a few month's of sales under its belt.
Will the base Patriot Limited w/ ADVII pkg be under the $20k mark?

The initial news (rumor?) was that the base Patriot would start at $16,500, and the Limited would start around $19K. I can only hope right now, but it would be very sweet if a loaded Limited with FDII (Trail Rated) cost under $22K. But that almost sounds too good to be true, right? I mean the Liberty starts at $21K (on CarsDirect.com, after rebate).

Just came across the first price range posted out on the web... it's still an estimate... who know's how accurate this will be...
2007 Jeep Patriot
By Larry Edsall
On Sale: Late fall 2006
Expected Pricing: $19,000-$23,000
The Patriot is the country cousin to the new and citified Jeep Compass.
Jeep promises that the Trail-Rated Patriot will be the most capable 4x4 in the compact crossover sport utility vehicle category, thanks to its Freedom Drive II Off-Road Package.
Like the Compass, the Patriot will be available in front-wheel drive or with a four-wheel-drive system with a Lock mode to enhance traction in inclement weather.
But the Patriot gets an additional Freedom Drive II option with a continuously variable transaxle with a low range that engages when the off-road mode is activated. The package includes 17-inch all-terrain tires, a full-size spare tire, air-filtration system, skid plates, tow hooks, fog lamps and a seat height adjuster. Jeep says the FDII system is recommended "for true off-road situations that include steep grades, wheel lift and rock or log climbing."
Jeep says it developed the FDII package to provide the benefits of a traditional transfer case without the added weight, an important factor when it comes to a compact and crossover utility vehicle...
