Holy moly that is UUUUUUUUUGLY!

I must say that I don't care too much for the direction Jeep is starting to take in regards to aesthetics. I'm actually thinking about picking up a 2013 Grand Cherokee before everything gets any uglier.

I know right?? I really thought Fiat was going to keep things looking good... but I was wrong. This will likely suffer the same abysmal sales numbers as the compass did when it came out, and get an amazing redesign in a couple years. Hopefully sooner if the sales are low enough. It has so much potential! They just need to fix the front end....

It looks like they released the photo's early because of the Jalopnik leak: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/22/2...al-in-a-hurry/

Id like to see the rear or a rear 3/4 shot.

This is not a good looking vehicle. Redesign, definately....btw, I hope the muffler still sticks out like a piece of luggage someone forgot to away AND I hope they didnt put dual exhaust on it because no body thinks that looks cool (joke).

All the waiting and the hype...disappointing...how about some early releases of ideas and design to better gauge future buyers approval or disapproval....oh wait that would be forward thinking.

Sorry, i like it, looks like a quality piece. Far better looking the the cheap junk of the current and past models. Wonder what the inside is like.

Most of you hate it just cause it different. Resale valuse of the current and past gens just dropped for sure.

The interior looks great, and the powertrain looks great, and your right, it does look like it is a high quality vehicle. Personally, I hate it because the grill has an ugly crease in it and they stuck the headlights into the bumper, similar to the ugly Nissan Juke. No matter the quality and mpg, if it is ugly I'm not driving it. I honestly think my Patriot's resale value just went up a tick... something I was not expecting to ever happen

Here are pictures of the amazing interior:

when the libby first came out, i thought it was ugly as sin... and then they made it slightly better... It would be fine if they kept that name on this. but to call it a cherokee... its just not right.

I agree. This one may look great 3 years from now, but for right now it looks like a blue rolling turd to me...

i wouldn't mind the 3.2l though... or if they were to make a 2.8l variant... That's one of three things I really wish my pat had....

1) more power
2) a gas tank twice as big as the current one...
3) rear doors that were about 2-3 inches wider when opened, so it would be easier to get my kids in and out.

It's going to be a winner if it is reliable and performs, you knew something was coming that spelled change for Jeep design.
I'm thinking red with the black trim and old reversed out CHEROKEE CHIEF on the door splash panels. No chrome please and lose the roof rails.
Yeh, I'm thinking mods already.
The wife liked it if anyone is keeping score.
Power and economy in a Jeep will make it for me.
Price-point is my only question for the 4x4 version, it has to be closer to $30k than $20k, you would think. Starting in the low $20s for a base model, maybe $26 for the base 4x4?
And still no ass shot!

I love everything about it but the headlights and grill. Now that they are getting serious feedback, I'm hopeful there is still time to update the front before the NY auto show
