Another Off Roader Bites the Dust - Jeep Liberty

First the Nissan Pathfinder, now the Jeep Liberty:

I was always under the impression that Jeep guys didn't even really take the Liberty seriously. There is a small following for the rare diesel liberties though. I think those are kind of interesting.

 

There's a following for diesel anything. If you put a diesel engine on a 450 lb woman, guys would be on her like sauce on ribs.

 

I like the imagery. ^

 

That's a lot of woman you speak of.

 

You could make 3 perfectly good women out of just that one.

 

Mmm sauce

 

I've seen a pretty sick liberty with a SAC floating around on here somewhere.

 

seems like all the new SUVs are now being morphed into cross-overs. they are stretched and lowered. i hate this new cross-over fad. They are the new mini van.

pretty soon they will all have sliding rear doors

 

There was an article on autoblog today with an alleges uncovered view of it and news that they might be using the Cherokee nameplate instead of Liberty. Not sure if that was mentioned in the motor trend article I didn't read through it.

 

Good riddance, IMO. I can't speak for its off road prowess, but just as a car it outright sucked. I had it as a rental on multiple business trips and it was terrible--flat uncomfortable seats, weird sitting and pedal position, harsh ride, and the climate control was either too cold or too hot. Not to mention the crap quality and finish of the interior materials.

 

Yes, yes I googled "diesel-powered woman"

Just think of all that stump-pulling woman torque.

Dat ground clearance...

 

You mean the Jeep or the women?
