Jeep
Commander
When the Jeep Commander first came out I
was not sure how I felt about the jeep commander. To me it looked like the Jeep
Cherokee was brought back to life, but given a major face lift. I
almost had to ask myself if the Jeep Cherokee was taken off the market
in 2001 for this reason?
The Jeep Commander brings back the
classic "boxy" jeep look I always liked. The Jeep Commander looks
like it was inspired from the classic Willy's wagons from the
1940's-1960's. I was not particularly thrilled when the Liberty
came out a few years back. To me it looked like they cut off the
front of the Jeep Wrangler and attached it to the back of a Jeep
Cherokee. Finally, Jeep has introduced a great looking vehicle.
