Jeepers that's Fugly

Introducing the 2007 Jeep Compass - the first obese Jeep. At least it looks that way, but it's actually the smallest and least off-road capable of the Jeep family. It's nice that they styled it too look that way. It looks bloated. Like a whale carcass.


Those huge wheel budges are the main cause - they take up the entire side of the vehicle. In the same way, the front bumper seems huge, especially when it rises on the edges to meet the turn signals.

* I should also note this is the only Jeep available NOT "Trail Rated". It's fraternal twin, the Jeep Patriot, is. And looks much, much better. So what exactly IS the point of the Compass?
