Alright, so since this morning when i saw Jeep had announced the next car model to adorn the Jeep badge i was flabbergasted when i saw it also will carry the Cherokee name. :eek: So, to try and get Jeep to undo the bad, i started a Facebook page to get a stir going on.

I don't want people thinking i drive that when i say i have a Cherokee. And i don't want weird looks when i'm searching for parts for my XJ Cherokee. It will haunt us for YEARS... YEARS... YEARS...

I know, better uses for my time. But i feel this is worth fighting for, the Jeep Cherokee XJ is too special to be associated with this thing.

Help stop the madness! Like, comment, and share.

In the last 18 hours the page has gotten to 126 likes. I am actually surprised it has grown like this. But its gonna take a LOT more.

I joined a couple other forums to spread the word, and will never go on pirate again.

If anything the Patriot had a shot at the cherokee lifestyle, but this is just wrong.

Saturday morning i had tried to get the word out by messaging a few popular pages, magazine pages, and big people in the hobby on Facebook.

Well, one of those was Former JP magazine editor and current Four Wheeler magazine editor John Cappa. Later Saturday he replied and back and forth. So today i wake up to a message saying he put up an article on Four Wheelers website mentioning my page. :D

Here's the article.
