I would in a heartbeat.
BTW, there was a nice article in the latest JP magasine about this vehicle. They didn't get to drive it though....
Comments? How do you think it would perform off-road?

It seems like that extra wheelbase would make it Hummer-like in its ability to bottom out and high-center, even with the extra 4" of electronic suspension lift, doesn't it? It sort of looks like a Liberty after several months of failed Atkin's diet, too :)

Well, it looks like it has all the important bits, solid axles and a manual transfer case. The approach and departure angles look to be better than most SUV's. It probably would perform a little better than the Cherokee based on the rear departure angle.
Loose all the prissy show car stuff, air suspension, diesel engine, run flat tires, computers and the remaining mall rat BS and it might make a good replacement for the Cherokee.
Dean Note I didn't say that it would make a good replacement for the Liberty, IMHO just about any mini van on the market would be a good replacement for that nasty thing .
Too wide, too heavy, and probably too expensive. Power to them in cracking the Hummer market. Certainly better than an H2.
Since the demise of the XJ, Jeep lacks a decent 4-door LWB hardtop offroad utility rig. The TJ Unlimited comes close, but not quite. Someone at Chrysler knew exactly what was needed to fill this void but sadly it was not to be:
We can only hope that DC will revisit the concept in light of the success of the Unlimited. Hey, it's even got Jerry cans to aid in DC's sinister ulterior agenda to Germanize the Jeep brand. ;)
