I guess it comes with the 3.7 liter V-6 and you can upgrade to the V-8s. Same wheel base as the Cherokee (109.5) and 2 inches longer than the Cherokee, it's a Cherokee with a third row seat ...and it's ugly.

Not to counter the H2 as much as to give them a true "Full Size" SUV. With gas @ $2.50/gal they're timing couldn't be worse but they desperately need to compete in this segment. There is a huge profit margin in full size Luxury SUVs as we all know and Jeep wants a piece of the pie.

That I would have to agree with.

These two look good, and the Rescue looks very KICK ASS!

Now after looking at these, I am not sure what they were thinking on the commander. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

It's ok, it seems like they're trying to model after the mighty H2. Some of those concepts are pretty cool looking!

Also, I always wondered what "Jeep Trail Rated" really meant; check this out from the site:

"Through a combination of natural and controlled field tests, as well as computer simulated environments, Jeep Trail Rated provides a repeatable and consistent measurement of off-road performance for all Jeep vehicles. Only Jeep vehicles are Trail Rated."

Interesting...computer simulated off-roading....

The Hummer?

I will ease your minds a little, I drove a Commander with a Hemi a couple weeks back...its ok, but its no compairison to a H2.
the hemi rocks when you hit the gas and your doing 90 in no time. it bouces all over on the road and has a really low ride height. its more of a freeway cruiser then anything. the fact they opened up head room is nice, but I still didn't fit well. the third row seat almost totally blocks the veiw out the back, so you had better learn to use those mirrors for backing. I didn't get to take it offroad, but I hope to soon.
