    Its kinda sad that thr jeep cherokee sport was kinda the perfect size for what it did and was the size of a nisaan cube. Now compare a 2001 jeep cherokee sport to a fucking rubicon. Seriously why the hell are modern vehicles so fucking large compared to the first SUVs even.

      The old Cherokee was small, but I think calling it the same size as a Nissan Cube is a stretch squish.

        Given the fact I parked next to one the other day, theyre about the same size. The Cube is a bit taller and the Cherokee is somewhat longer. Though most of the added length is due to the Engine compartment.

          Well, TIL.

          Still, I think the extra length of the Cherokee “counts” more than the extra height of the Cube, especially since a Cherokee actually intended to be used off-road (with 4x4, bigger tires, etc.) would be taller.
