The Jeep Grand Wagoneer....very "meh"

I loved the old-school Wagoneers, but damn, the new version just looks like luggage.

When I think of all the misteps Ford could have taken with the Bronco, I am happier and happier that they produced what they did...imperfections an all.

I agree. It looks nothing like the old Grand Wagoneer. We should feel lucky for getting a true retro design in the new Bronco. This is not it.

Yeah. Very Suburbany.

Just another luxury SUV. They brought the name back to make more money

Agree, side view looks like a full sized GM product. Front view . Inside looks great. I’m a huge fan of the older( any model) wagoneer. This looks like a “missed opportunity “

Plus it's around $100k right? Front end looks like a bigger Durango without the cool hood.

Yup $100 g’s. For that price you should get the big Hemi. Still wouldn’t be with it to me.

I understand things cost money to design and test but my gosh. Getting out of hand with vehicles now.

I mean what were they suppesed to do make a grand Cherokee look retro and slap a wagoner badge on it? They have all the SUV’s but a full-size. I don’t like the look but their choice of size was limited.

If you’re looking for a vintage look this won’t have it. However I sat in a fully loaded one and it definitely has every feature imaginable and some. Jeep does a great job with high quality feel on interior. And it’s got screens everywhere! I’d imagine if you’re in the market for an Escalade with every creature comfort imaginable you’d be in the market for this more expensive option.

This thing would be a boyhood dream if I was still taking long road trips across the country with the family. Much better than the old wagoner I had to road trip in when I was a child. Definitely not an off-road vehicle though.

I like it. The interior is great, which is surprising for a MOPAR. It looks good in certain colors. I like it, but not at its ludicrous price tag.

 

[Funkdoobiest]

I think it's quite ugly. Looks like a shuttle bus.

It's totally fine. I see nothing wrong here. It's a big luxurious SUV.

Is the issue that they used the Wagoneer name, and people already have decided what a "Wagoneer" should be, based on a model from many years ago?

It looks like it was designed with Legos or in Minecraft. The OG model had character, charm, personality. I'm not saying they create a retro version, but they could design something better. The Jeep Wrangler and it's siblings has a design through-line is respectable. The new Wagoner does not.
