Interesting that the reloacted spots and the revised bumper and new side panels are very similar to those of the 4x4 Panda which suggest that this re-design will keep help a Jeep badged Panda look more part of the Jeep Family.

Hopefully it will sell well and force them to keep it... if they figure out how to give the 5spd version a low range... I'll pick one up

Looks like a baby commander I would rock it if it was a decent 4x4.

I LIKE it... in 2007 - I remember looking at it and i was like... "meh" and then walked a little further down the parking lot and picked up a WK that day. But, consciously, I knew in the near future I would get a Jeep with better 2nd or 3RD Jeep with much better MPG's.. My WK, and my recently acquired XJ obviously have crap for mpg's. I like the new subtle changes in the design. I know some of them have been stick - but it's nice to see it will be continued.. the interior trim is SUPERIOR to the 2007 models. The combination of the nav and more toys in the accessory panel and steering wheel make me a very happy camper.
The Patriot reminds me a distant and much younger cousin of the Cherokee. Someone said something about looking like a baby Commander, which is funny, i like that comparison too But it REALLY has potential if the weight distribution is good, couple options in the 4x4 system, 4low, but still hold into that 22-27 mileage it had. Even if it gets a basic 4x4, with decent mileage, and the upgrades i see in those pic's I'd still take it over any honda/toyota in it's class. Probably because since I two Jeeps.. a 3rd vehicle would look out of place unless it was another Jeep - lol.
