looks like he should have purchased a jeep and not a stationwagon with the jeep name stuck on.

That was pretty funny. But in reality Jeep built some good vehicles in the 80's and 90's, especially those with the 4.0 and 5.2 engines, once they went to other engines it was all downhill from there.

Totally agree. I love my XJs, always have. Never let me down (though they've had their annoying moment here and there).

I loved my 1988 XJ Limited -- 300k mi all over the country. Reliable (in terms of not stranding me -- the maintenance budget was getting close to replacement cost) and comfortable. The rocker panel, lower door, and quarter panel rust led to its sale a year or so ago as it was just getting to be too much to stay on top of. 25+ years of fun. The guy who bought it was very happy to get the ARB bullbar, OME suspension, Kaymar rear bar...
I bought a 2007 Cherokee CRD (Diesel) new as a potential replacement (or maybe an overall addition). What a piece of c**p that was. A dozen or more things wrong on delivery, and the dealer was unable to address a single one of them, nor follow up on any of the items they said they would. I sold it after six weeks and 1500 miles. Took a bath on it -- even the selling dealer wouldn't make an offer on it. I've given up on them. The Lexus RX 350 I replaced it with has been flawless for 8+ years, as has the 2001 Tacoma 4WD DC that took on the XJ's role in 2009.
Pity -- I was happy to be a Jeep guy until that POS WK.
