That is badass. I honestly at this point would rather have a nice XJ over my TJ. Sorry crew!! But I love them. I love a small lift and 32s on those. I found a 98 in that color about 4 hrs from my house with 65k miles. Just have to see if they will come down on the price. It’s too high right now.

Whoa......:eek:
LOL As they're two very different creatures, I can easily see having one of each. Call the XJ a "family rig", and the TJ your "toy". It would be a tough call to have to choose. We've lived with the XJ for years now, and love it. The TJ has yet to be enjoyed...

Realistically I would have both. My gf would prolly leave me if I ditched the wrangler lol

@JMT you have me extra jealous with all of your wheeling going on. All of the trails around here have road closures because of snow. Soon tho, very very soon!

The new Cherokees are possibly one of the ugliest vehicles I’ve ever seen. On the other hand, I’ve owned 5 XJs and loved them all! Not as much as my TJ, but close!

Nothing will ever be as ugly as the Pontiac Aztec.

Oh God don't get me started on the Aztecs.

The one thing I can’t figure out is, which engineer at Pontiac actually thought they would sell a bunch of these cars. I wonder if that person is still employed somewhere in GM? Or has this person been permanently banned from the automotive world.

They took all his pencils and rulers away from him and told him to sit in the corner and 'think about what he's done' lol

Sorry, but I disagree. Ugly? Yes! Hideous? Maybe. But when the Chevy Avalanche first debuted, I went through about a 4-year stretch of actually getting pissed-off every time I saw one. Whomever designed that hermaphrodite should have been drawn and quartered. I'd own an Aztec based on it's pure funkiness. The Avalanche? If I was hitchhiking and one pulled over to offer me a ride, I'd respectfully decline. (My apologies to those of you who own one. To each their own, right? Just remember, I own Gremlins and love Pacers, so there's that...) ;)

Just when I thought you and I were going to be friends....

If you look at it, it looks like one person started the design, then was transferred out of the department. A second person came in, added their own influence to it, then received a job offer at 7/11, and left. So the janitor picked up the third stage, and finished it off. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how it all went down...

Exactly. But I also agree that the avalanche isnt a good looking vehicle. It’s better than the Aztec, but not by much.

Bwahahahaha!!! Okay...now I remember! You own a blue one, don't you? :facepalm: Well, if I can be friends with people who vote "differently", I can be friends with an Avalanche owner! :D

Ha, no avalanche for me. You and I will always have a soft spot for AMC ramblers.
