    Strange looking thing?

    Is it just me or does the jeep commander look like a cross between a D3 a Defender and a Volvo 850 station wagon

    I'd call it a Bummer


    Prepare to be horrified. We rarely completely trash vehicles. But there is always an exception to that rule. The Jeep Commander has to be one of the most unappealing vehicles, as far as appearance, we've seen in this site's ten months of existence. In recent times, only the Pontiac Aztec has been uglier

    Interior is a dogs breakfast. They've tacked on 2 extra rear seats with no leg recess - so you end up with your knees round your ears (unlike D3). Also front clearance is cr_P. Great 3.0D though - LR please note...

    First time I saw one was today. It's like a car made out of 3 Duplo blocks stacked ontop of eachother.

    Agreed

    Jeep has had the knack of keeping some lineage to the original...as has Porsche (with a few exceptions)...this is a bastardisation...a losing of plot)

    To some extent LR has done so with the Defender from the Series...lets hope the stylists can be successful with the next.

    It could be worse - could look like a Ssangyong Korando!
