et2 and others....
Food for thought; when the newest version of the Wrangler came out, many said it was no where NEAR as good as the older TJs (they are wrong). When the YJs came out they said the same about them and that the CJs were the best and why the change. Now the same about the new Cherokee, nay-sayers. The fact is that the new Cherokee is a lot more a 4X4 than the CRV, but will be just as comfy in most comparable equipped models. The BIG difference in the Wrangler vs the Cherokee is that the Wrangler is still solid axle/frame vs unibody front wheel drive with rear wheel drive when needed. The latter not ideal for the Rockies toughest, but not bad. It is what it is and I think people will always balk at change. I would buy 10 Cherokees before I bought one CRV.
