Definitely squared off in the back for more headroom and space. The 2 row should retain the more classic look based on the spy photos.

Gorgeous interior - looks very upscale and premium! Exterior looks kinda bland.

Thats just the way it is with 3 rows, the 2 row will be better looking, but...you lose the 3 row. I have to have the option of a third row so its all tradeoffs.

Knockout design inside and out. Love the boxy look, the way an SUV used to be.

The interior is beautiful. As for the exterior, it may grow on me, but for now it looks awkward to me.

They should shove in the Ferrari V8 seeing as it's already sitting on an Alfa Romeo/Maserati platform.

Watching Raitis Rides. Jeep is killing it with this interior. Just sensational. Too back it looks long and weird from the exterior. Thanks goodness this thing has real exhaust holes instead of the fake crap.

I personally don't think it looks long and weird at all, it will sell great

Not a big Jeep fan, but this and the wagoneer I'm kind of into. I like the longer boxy look

So I went to the Chrysler dealer today to replace my wheel locks, and they had two new Grand Cherokee L's I got to check out. Both were V6 Summits, sticker price $64k. Both very nice! I really like the looks of it, and the big long hood. Very comfortable, the new interior is very nice. Second and third row space is also very good. This could be a very good option as a Pacifica replacement for me.

I will say though, they expect this at high trims to compete with luxury brands, all you have to do is shut the door and this is not a Mercedes/BMW/Lexus/Audi competitor.

I took pictures, the second two are some cute little *****'s Jeep and SWB and LWB Grand Cherokee designs in the window edging of the third row windows

It looks better when it's lowered a bit.

Not a Chrysler person. I'm sure lots of people will buy them though. Clever Easter eggs.

Door thunks are important--very important. So many times America will design a great interior with a giant, glaring flaw. Cheap feeling doors on an expensive vehicle like that = no bueno.
