Yeah. Not a fan...
The 4-Door Wrangler though?
May very well be our next ride. My brother-in-law has one and it's sweet and a lot bigger inside than you might expect.

Yes, I'm totally digging the 4-door wrangler too. Looks super beefy and mean. And I agree the compass is ugly as sin!
Whenever I see one from the side the first thing I think is that they were trying to rip off the Hummer look for some reason. Maybe it's just me though..

It does look Hummerish, but really, it's just an extended Wrangler so I don't think it was intentional.
I think it's the squared off roof line in the back that makes it look hummerish...
The thing is, the Wrangler just seems really outdated to me. Sure its a cool car with history and preserves the look that sold and is classic, but there are cars out there that will probably (for a regular driver) match the Wrangler's offroad capabilities while keeping more comfort, convenience, safety and reliability.
I supposed they would make a serious offroad machine for some people, but if you need a car to get to work every day and then kick butt when it snows or duing an occasional offroad adventure on the way to a camp site, there are others that will get the job done better.

I'd have to look up the article but I believe Jeep took legal action against Hummer for ripping off the Jeep grill design.
Yes, I remember that. But I'm not talking about the front, more the side.
I do agree with you on that.

Dunno. Take out that rear door and it looks like any old Wrangler to me...

The 2000 Cherokee Sport looks exactly like mine. Same color too!

Who? Me? I test drove a Wrangler once back in the 90's. I have a Cherokee Sport.
The new ones, sure, but the older ones didn't have such a squared off roof line in the back
Nevermind. Cherokee != Wrangler. It seems like a more practical choice.
Safetywise the crash ratings on the Wrangler are better than I expected:
Definitely than the previous gen Ford F-150:

I'm actually taking a good look at the Patriot -- good price, good mileage and has some off-road capability. Anybody hear anything on these?
Look at the size of those skis!
I used to have one that looked almost exactly like this:
Mine wasn't in nearly as nice shape though. I never actually got it on the road, but it still pained me to sell it.
