Imo, the diehard jeeps ending w/the box cherokees in '01 and the use of the straight six in the wrangler. The new wranglers are the only thing worth mentioning but jeep did strayed from its original mission statement of a cheap, quality, can beat-the-hell-out-of-it 4x4. I've owned 2 of them and my current '04 kj was nothing like the xj i had. Not to mention the prices of a wrangler are ridiculous...42k for a rubicon that still uses utility trailer taillights is insane. Don't get me wrong, its not a bash session for jeeps but reliability has suffered in the last decade or so. Jeep doesn't need the compass nor patriot...should've had those come under the dodge name but they figured slap 'jeep' on anything and people will think General Patton drove the same vehicle. Thats why the liberty ended, bean counters didn't understand why it wasn't turned into a crossover like every other suv now....watch, the next liberty will be on a shortened 300c awd platform and look like the mkx.
