As you can probably tell, I like the new Commander. I can't say that it has completely won me over on looks alone, but as stated earlier I often find unorthodox shapes agreeable given enough time. Diehard Cherokee fans really like what they see, mind you, at least those I've spoken with about it, so my guess is that it will find a strong base of loyal customers, probably among those who used to own one of the brand's smaller SUVs, but have now grown out of it.
