Just the headlights sucks, what were they thinking when they came up with them? The rest of the truck looks fine IMO

They're trying to get the original WWII jeep look on modern vehicles. You know, the retro thing. Unfortunately, it looks looks like crap.

Bland...with ugly headlights. At least the interior is nice...they'll do okay in sales with that interior, as long as die-hard Jeep people don't mind the IFS.

This is definately a case where the merger and global platforms hurt more than they help.

heh...my friend works for Chrysler/Jeep and couldn't talk about the redesign...I guess with good reason ;) Don't like the front much, but the rear looks very Land Rover-ish, and gives the car back some of the masculinity that I think the Gen 2 lacked. Ah well.

it looks almost 100% identical to the old model except this has a new grill. can't even say that, this one just looks like it has a new headlight design which was stolen from the Liberty. Otherwise, what has changed visually on this vehicle?

Doesnt look that great but then its not really bad either. Lots of Japanese manufacturers make much more ugly cars especially Honda.
