With minor updates they could have keeped it for another 6 years at least, not replace it with something inferior.To be fair to both sides of the issue I have seen some pretty cool lifted and modded Libertys What is even scarier is the styling of future Jeeps. I have seen some concept vehicles that have not been released to ANYONE (media, etc.) -- as in they are at least 4+ years away -- and all I have to say is they are downright ugly. I sure hope they never make it to production. At least they are putting the HEMI in the Grand Cherokee for 05 and aside from the styling downgrade (IMHO), the 05 GC should ROCK!

The Jeep liberty not only replaced the cherokee it gave the consumer an intermediate choice between the rough wrangler and the plush cherokee the cherokee was not replaced all together they are still in production,
the liberty was never ment to completly replace the cherokee. The liberty is still trail rated and can preform on the trails like the wrangler but has a little more comfort but not as much comfort as the cherokee, and all 3 vehicles the wrangler, liberty and the cherokee preform very well on the trails, on the road and in over all safety.
I have seen all of the concept vehicles up close at camp jeep this past weekend and they look very cool (IMHO). And I can't wait untill they are put into production.
My liberty is completly stock, all it has is 3 skid plates, a class three hitch, tow hooks, and rock rails thats it! No lift no special tires or anything. How could you say that the liberty is inferior???? I took that liberty on two different trails the first was a beginers course because i have never taken the vehicle off road, the second was and intermediate course, that liberty went where some wranglers and cherokees couldn't. I am very proud of my liberty and i can't wait untill Camp Jeep # 11 next year.
