Reminds me of the Mercedes GLA.
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

A mini Cherokee, looks good to me.  Hopefully a vast improvement on the current model...

shouldn't take much to be better... but i don't mind that look at all.

overall, i would be pretty "excited" to be selling it likely... too bad it will be the same damn size and market as the cherokee... not sure how that is a good idea to have these two against each other...

More like a mini Grand Cherokee.

So this is positioned between the Renegade and the Cherokee, right?

fuel economy for all the 9 speed/2.4 combos i have driven have been pretty darn decent... i know you are just exaggerating, but have you experienced something drastically different? just curious.

it looks like the took the cherokee and took away the parts that were polarizing... not sure if that's a good plan.

haha! touche!

yeah, i think a few reviews of the trailhawk renegade and cherokee came up as being poor... but they were ones that had other additions to make them worse on fuel (tow packages with screwy drive ratios, upgraded 4x4's, bigger tires)... overall, in real world driving with the combo, i'd say it's pretty average. nothing phenomenal economy wise, but if any worse than competitors, it's not by a whole lot...

i think this is decent rig... it'll be UUUuuuuge... tremendous sales.

why they picked the Compass name over the Patriot name

The new Compass is also a more natural replacement for the old one, since both have softer, more rounded styling. The Renegade is effectively the Patriot replacement, with it's very square and upright design.

What's the point of the uuuuuge blind spot?
To me, it looks like the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee slept together.

I guess it'll do well sales-wise.
