What was jeep thinking when they produced a car that looks like Danny Davito on wheels? Well, Ill tell you. Besided being the ugliest SUV I have ever seen (yes uglier than the Aztek) I think I see what jeep was trying to accomplish with this compact suv. With the onset of the increase of gas prices Jeep needed to build a honda crv competitor. Thus the Compass was born. I think that Jeep built this car for one reason and one reason only. An affordable jeep that cost less and consumes less gas than the Liberty. I feel jeep had the right Idea but the wrong artist. Shame on you jeep. From what I can tell there are many similarities between this and the Dodge Caliber, which in my opinion is another poorly designed car. Although ugly and "not trail rated" I think the Compass for some reason or another might actually sell.
