2008 Jeep Liberty

Well, it’s sad to say, but these words ring true…

When the Jeep Liberty debuted in 2002, it was the alternative off-roader.

Its doe-eyed headlights and curvy cute looks were a hit with everyone but Jeep enthusiasts, who found their Rubicon sense of machismo unhinged; the ultimate man’s brand was being shopped by women.

With the latest Liberty, Jeep seems to be showing us that the way forward looks like the Commander. Is that a good thing, or simply a way to make you think “Commander” when time comes to replace your Libby?

Well, much like the Nissan Pathfinder - bigger, squarer, the 2008 Jeep Liberty takes the round edges and creases them up.

One really nice feature is the massive fabric roof - not sure how it’ll work in the colder climates, but I’m sure they’ve done the testing…so it may or may not work…

The folks over at DetNews.com have a review of this new Jeep, so scoot over and read the full report.
