I saw two of the new Cherokees roaming around without plates in Flat Rock, MI (which isn't so far from where they're being assembled in OH) and thought they were one of the ugliest vehicles I've seen in person.
Other vehicles well known for being ugly have some distinctive trait that makes them so. These are an all-in-one package of nasty. The proportions are off, the headlights are too narrow, the grille (while maintaining a trademark image) doesn't work on the body at all. The tail lights are tiny and proportionately too high up. It's just overall bad.
Despite this, I'm sure it will sell well because people want a higher seating position while hauling their kids and various belongings around which would fit perfectly fine in a proper sedan. The last true SUV is probably the Wrangler, and before that, the Bronco and K5. Everything else is a mutation of the full size station wagon, a body style that never should have been retired.
