I just read a review on autoguide.com and I am not very impressed.
I was waiting for the Cherokee and was seriously considering it but because of the delays I could not wait any longer and bought WK2 a few weeks ago.
I went with Laredo E V6 4x4, All weather group and Uconnect 8.4 + 18" wheels group, paid $34k. The new Cherokee seems to be only $2k (give or take) cheaper in similar trims but WK2 has probably slightly more features. The KL mpgs are not very impressive according to the review and on par with what I get with my GC with (8speed transmission is also slightly more proven).
I yet have to see one in person. I believe the front end will probably look better in flash than in pictures but the rear end is a bummer. Overall, I am not sure how well it is going to sell compared to WK2 since I feel the price difference is not significant enough considering you get a car that does look odd, has a noisy engine, is smaller and has same mpgs as its bigger brother for almost same price.
What do you guys think? How would you compare it to Grand cherokee? And what do you think about the price?
