Default NOT Aimed At The Ryan Seacrest Demographic: Meet The Jeep Trailhawk Concept

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/28/j...-detroit-show/

No ***** *** looking crap car crossovers here (I'm looking at you Compass and Patriot). Sure the Trailhawk has a long wheelbase and is supposed to be a more comfortable yet capable Jeep, but hey at least it looks the part of a Jeep. This thing has chunky and bad *** written all over it. If anything this think would make the perfect Jeep SRT model. However as this thing probably stands a near 0% chance of hitting showrooms I move that the design cues be transported over to the next Grand Cherokee restyling or perhaps the too cutesy looking Liberty. Sorry but the Liberty looks like *** and looks too sissy next to the butch and "handsome in an ugly way" Dodge Nitro. The concept is powered by a Merc 3.0L BLUETEC Diesel rated at 215hp and 376 ft-lbs. of torque. All in all a pretty good looking SUV IMO. Here's hoping the styling cues survive the cutting room floor and find their way onto the next GC and Liberty as the Trailhawk will (IMO anyway) almost certainly not see production.

Looks kinda like a chopped SRT-8 Grand Cherokee. The front end is sinister. I like it, just won't buy one if it's released.
