Ooh... its not good is it...
Its just the split headlights, the grill is alright / something you'de get used too.

The aztec had bigger problems though.

[F Body]

Jeeze it doesn't get much better from the side



Or rear :



Yes it's bold and different but as Renault has found out to it's cost several times, it's going to bomb

Hmmm ugly, but could be nice to drive.

[ianjpage]

hmm don't like the look of that i have to say...

[Andy]

Was really hoping your first picture was a concept Ian, but FB's ones of it on the production line... oh dear

There's something not right about that bonnet/nose deal. From the side it looks way too narrow and from the front it just looks ugly!

[Cunning Plan]

What does this replace? The Compass / Patriot (which was the replacement for the Cherokee) or the Grand Cherokee?

Immediately, it looks odd, but if you look at it a few times, it isn't too bad, but they could have done better.

The front has a very BMW feel to it, which you could get used to and like, but the rear looks like a Ford Galaxy and the lights are too high-up with no other detail or design feature below them

I also dislike the non-coded bumper all around the car, that looks very cheap and nasty, very 1995.

Perhaps different model specifications will offer a better level of finishing and colour-coded-bumpers

It is a shame as I thought they did quite well with the Commander:



If they did that with a more economical Diesel engine and a manual gear-box, I would be considering saving the pennys.

Also the square wheel arches look weird and the styling line at the bottom of the doors, that make it look as if it's alread bent in the middle

Avantime, Vel Satis and the Shaking it's Ass Megane etc

[Andy]

Weird, I thought the ass looks like a messed up X5, one which someone had reversed into something.
