Gotta say the new Wrangler is going to be hot.

Jeep is definately starting to really fell the pressure and defend it's territory. Now that Hummer has the H3 and a future HX and Toyota has the FJ cruiser, DCX is realising that the battle over sales is going to get very ugly in the next few years. Though, I'm not sure having a car-based Jeep is a wise idea. It might scare a lot of loyal customers away.

well the new wrangler will satisfy the purists. i don't think the compass will sell because it's ugly not because it's car based. I don't see the need for it AND the Patriot. the patriot will do better because it looks better. Car based SUVs can really do what 99% of buyers need of them. If you want more than get the wrangler. or the FJ etc.
