ARTICLE: 2006 Jeep Commander-A Looming Case of Hummer Envy

[TigerH3]

See link to full article below:

". . . The Commander performs such chores with an undeniable presence, like it or not, and one with overtones of the Hummer. There is a blunt seven-slot grille, a bunkerlike greenhouse and squarish windows. While the Commander doesn't compete directly with any of the three existing Hummers, it could be seen as a retort to a brand that has stolen some of the rough-and-ready image that Jeep used to claim exclusively. (The chicken-or-egg debate doesn't end there, given that several of Hummer's styling cues seem to have been borrowed from Jeep in the first place.) . . ."

Has some similarities to a Hummer, but when I see one, I immediately think...Range Rover, for some reason.

I was not impressed and the interior of Chrysler vehicles is sub-par to GM

I saw one the other day and at first I thought it was an H3 but ....not, it's a lot smaller than I thought.

I also think it looks more like a Land Rover than a Hummer, especially from the back. Jeeps are great; I just prefer my H3.

Recently saw one at an auto show. Was not impressed with the qaulity of interior. To actually sit in the third row you need to be about 4 ft tall. To access the third row is about as difficult as it gets.

Basically if you want the passenger capacity buy a mini van.

I totally agree...

I looked and drove the Condomander just before I purchased the H3. They styled the interior like a minivan. Drove like a bus and has no stock ground clearance. As I said...minivan.
