I agree 100% that Jeep compromised their off-road line of vehicles in order to go into a certain market. I also think that since at the time of development, Jeep was owned by DaimlerChrysler and I bet the Mercedes folks had a big say so (51%) into what was developed.
We'll see if I'm right; now that D-C is no more, I'll bet that Jeep will move back towards their roots, even though they might keep one of the car-like Jeeps around - for that specific market.
