2nd Liberty - 3rd Jeep - 4th Chrysler

Actually, the GC line is being fully redesigned (codenamed "WK"). They'll offer both the current size (more or less) plus an extended-length version with the third row option.

Also... Jeep Compass in '05. That's not definite but it is *expected* to happen. Pics of the concept are all over the web. A rally-like vehicle.

There's also rumours about a Jeep "Commander" being in development... a largish three row vehicle to compete with the likes of the H2. To debut in around '05 or '06.

Wranger is supposed to be redesigned in '06.

And, I wish I could find the link, but I read somewhere about two weeks ago that they'll likely be increasing the size of the Liberty when it's redesigned in a couple more years. It's supposed to grow to nearly the size of the (current) GC. Not sure if I believe that one.

Ah yes, presenting the new Grand Cherokee, the WK, brought to you by the same folks who made the K Cars, and thus should know better than to *ever* again use the letter K in a model number. With a longer wheelbase version possibly to be known as the Wagoneer again, appropriately known as the YK, affectionately pronounced as it looks.

Allegedly IFS is a done deed, with possible saving grace of ride height control and/or hemi based V6 and V8.

And according to latest rumors, not even a Jeep, possibly base on the Mitsupussy..

I have seen rumors that the Grand Cherokee and the Mercedes ML series will be merged into a single branded platform. This was supposed to happen for the '06, but seems not yet.
