The 2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot Captured!

We love it when when these spy pics reach the public because it gives us an initial unaltered look at what we can expect from our favorite Jeep lines. Take this Compass/Patriot shot for example: we love what they've done to it so far! These days, it’s nearly impossible to travel across Southeastern Michigan without tripping over a Fiat-based Chrysler test mule. Sure enough, we managed to stumble across a very early test mule for what will ultimately replace the Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs.  In late 2009, Chrysler disclosed that both the Compass and Patriot – presently built on the late Dodge Caliber’s PM/MK architecture – would...

Jeeps New Blacked Out 'Altitude'

It's A Good Time For Jeep

Jeep is coming out with 4 new models by 2014, and an entire new string of cars by 2016. The Jeep Liberty, Patriot, Jeepster, and Wagoneer will soon be unveiled.

The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee: A Family Car

The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee has received another great review, this time as a car for the family. Not only does the Cherokee work well in a city for everyday chores, but it has everything you'll need to take on the open open road. For families surrounded by concrete jungles rather than natural terrain, the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee can be a lot more SUV than is needed on a day-to-day basis, but its stylish looks and powerful engine will win more than a few families over.  After its 2011 redesign, the Grand Cherokee seemed to be new in every way: new engine, new looks, new attitude. I was surprised by how upscale it seemed upon saddling...
