Yeah, i would have to say they fell out of the ugly tree and hit most of the branches on the way down. I saw one at the mudgee field days and had a look over it, would have to say it made me feel sick looking at it. Its almost as though jeep gave 5 kindy kids crayons told them to trace around some blocks and then used that as the shape. The hummer, although rather large and unsigthly managed to use that shape with some level of class, jeep failed miserably. Matt

I had big hopes for this vehicle, but it is a little disappointing. I dont think the looks are that terrible, but it certainly is not as beautiful as the D3. But as a defender driver, I am more “beast” than Beauty lover. It still does have a rugged quality about it, but not in the way they intended it (read hummer into that).
The ground clearance is an issue though, and although it may be "trail rated", it aint an Austrlian trail that is for sure. Best thing is the engine…

Also being a Jeep owner, I don't mind the Commander - but only when they do this sort of thing to them:

That looks like a cross between a D3 and a Defender... untill it turns side on!

I think they might have done better if they restrained themselves from putting the hideous oversized mechano wheel-arch flares on with the pseudo-tough exposed bolt heads.

Won't stop them selling heaps though. They have a much better marketing department than Land Rover. (Who apparently don't have one at all, or so you'd think). And they are cheaper.

one could be forgiven for thinking LR have an antimarketing department judging by some of the horror stories that have surfaced lately. it surely has to hurt to some degree.
