Very strange looking.  Are you sure Fiat isn't participating in the styling?

Doesn't look like the hood is closed.

There is not a single thing that I like about it. At least the previous GCs kept a similar line through the years.

You do know the Grand Cherokee (ZJ) was the originally replacement for the Cherokee (XJ)?

Well seeing as the lineup needs some sort of commonality, I can see why the "Cherokee" went crossover.  Remember this is the last year for the Compass, so the Cherokee is filling the gap between the Patriot and the Grand.

I think only time will tell.  People didn't think the Nissan Juke would sell...

That's a good point...  But I STILL find it ugly (both of them, actually).
