If they didn't, there would be no Jeep. Look at GM and Ford, both the traverse (trailblazer replacement) and Explorer are now car based, the equinox has replaced the plucky little tracker. CAFE is a total biotch and if they have to do this to keep the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee on the market as is, so be it, but it should NOT be called a Cherokee. Also don't be surprised if the thing has some models with some real offroad chops, the Patriots (and later compasses) with the offroad package and low range turned out to be some surprisingly capable offroaders that easily surpassed anything in the small SUV category for offroad ability.
