Though that does bring up a good point, I wonder if they'll phase out the hideous Grand Cherokee in favor of the more-hideous Commander...

I certainly hope not. I'd rather have a Grand Cherokee over the Commander any day. And I DON'T want a Grand Cherokee. I'd take a Wrangler though....

Nissan never sold them in the US.  You can make them legal here but it's quite expensive.

OR you can wait for Nissan to get off their asses and bring that new GT-R to the states and badge it as an Infiniti (Isn't what they are planning on doing? The G35 is essentially the new Skyline, although withouth the GT-R. Yet). That is a nice car though.

My mom drives a '99 Mazda Protegé and my drives a '96 Toyota Tercel (both stick). I drive an '87 Volvo 740 GLE. Not the turbo model, but I am not complaining (got it for Christmas).

You're right Jellybones, the Cherokee has been discontinued in the states.  The ad MachChunk3 saw was for the Grand Cherokee.

What's the difference?

The difference is all in the name, friend.

What's the difference?

If I remember correctly, as it's been a long time since I looked at the specs for either of these, the Grand Cherokee is slightly larger than the Cherokee. Not anything significant, just a couple inches here and there. And the GC has the option of a V8 which I think the Cherokee never had. The GC is definitely more upscale and expensive than the Cherokee ever was.

cherokee is more rugged looking and is a bit smaller. grand cherokee had more rounded exterior features.

I also have some cars.

Don't forget it's uglier.

Some useless Jeep trivia:
Jeep discontinued the Jeep Cherokee in favor of the Liberty in the US. However, in mainland Europe, it's still called the Cherokee (at least in France. Posix, WME, what do they call it in Holland or Germany?)

Scratches on the bumper are from the granny who owned it before me..

My friend was driving around a Cherokee in the pouring rain the other day. (His dad's a used car salesman.) There was a dead spot in the middle of the steering wheel that you had to get past before the car started turning, and there wasn't a radio face, but the radio stayed on the same channel and volume, even when the car was turned off. It was kind of creeping me out.
