Re: 2006 Jeep Commander

That front end is the ugliest thing I've ever seen...Trevor Creed's sledgehammer is still swinging for the fence.

I don't think I've seen a vehicle designed with so much 'box' in mind since Gm in the mid 80's.

It's probably be a big hit with the American buying public.

Re: 2006 Jeep Commander

Seems to have the disproportionately skinny tire early 90's Range Rover vibe to me. Looks ok except from the front, but it's one of those designs that might look better the more I see it.

Is that right? Slap a picture of the recently departed cherokee up next to it and they are VERY similar. The only diffrence is this one is bigger.

Re: 2006 Jeep Commander

I gotta say the interior and seats look pretty nice.

The Chrysler group's trucks and SUVs just keep getting uglier with every new release. Can't wait to see that new Chrysler Aspen!

Re: 2006 Jeep Commander

I kind of like it, and I have no idea why. The seats look like they should be in a smoking lounge.

Re: 2006 Jeep Commander

I sort of dig it, except the exposed bolts on the dash are a rip off the 3rd gen Camaro.

Re: 2006 Jeep Commander

It looks like an overgrown volvo from the back.

It reminds me of a 1980's cherokee larado. The dual headlights is almost and exact take. Is this supposed to be a modern cherokee? Commander=Cherokee? Jeep needs a mid sized Suv inorder to compete the Liberty is WAY too small and couldnt "trail rate" its self out of a paper bag, the wrangler is over priced for what it is, the GC is starting to get nice and the SRT-8 option will be sweet. But it lacks a mid sized SUV. Just my take.


I dont think it looks that bad. Could always be an aztec

Re: 2006 Jeep Commander

The Grand Cherokee is midsize. I think they are smaller than Explorers, 4 Runners, and Trailblazers. What Jeep needs is a full size SUV.
