2007 Compass

I just returned from NAIAS in Detroit where Jeep had two of the new Compasses on display. I hate to say it but the new shape just doesn't do it for me. I LOVED the 2002 concept, I was okay with the 2005 Frankfort concept but the final production version just doesn't sell me on the vehicle, especially the ugly nose. This Jeep had so much potential. The addition of another set of doors, the adding to the height and length, the change in the spare tire location, and more all go toward making the Compass just another small SUV. The 2002 concept was funky and different but the production version appears to be trying to please too many people, as if too many opinions from corporate on what the vehicle should look like were offered to the designers, too many "cooks in the kitchen" so to speak. A real shame.
