I've been seeing these 'baby-jeep twins' in traffic a lot lately,

 

and the more I see them, the uglier they get. :ack:

 

I actually thought the Patriot would grow on me,

but those steel wheel arches, and tiny tires... :doh:

 

FAIL.

I really did think they'd grow on me,

the Patriot seemed boxy & utilitarian enough to *****maybe***** be an XJ replacement with better gas mileage,

once they're old & cheap.

 

 

But they're lines translate better in pics than they do in person,

after noticing 1-2 a day over the last couple months, :shake:

 

not for me.

 

 

I'll give you that the Compass looks cleaner,

but I'd still take the original (Dodge Caliber) over either.

the compass is a caliber anyway so whats the difference lol

 

It just has the cleanest, most natural lines of the three.

 

I thought it was funny a few years ago when I was checking them all out on Chrysler/Jeep's web site.

 

 

The Caliber was the cheapest of the three, but the other two had A/C standard.

By the time you added A/C to a base Caliber, it cost more than the Jeeps. :huh???:

 

I'm thinking the Caliber had a crappier base engine too.

The Compass and Patriot aren't Jeeps. They should have had Chrysler badges.

They can both be bought with Dodge badges. And a Dodge dealership is where they belong. I agree ... they are not Jeeps.
