Hello all!
My name is Miguel and I’m a Marketing Representative with the Jeep Information Center. Do you all remember the “me-decade”? With its leg warmers, the Rubix cube, break-dancing, pop music, The Smurfs, Indiana Jones, The Breakfast Club, Rocky Balboa was in his prime, Cabbage Patch Kids, the phrase “Wax on, wax off” had a profound meaning; the list could go on for pages! Now, you may be asking yourself: “What does the new era of Jeep and the 80’s have in common?!”
Well, for all those who were or still are (secretly for some) big fans of the 80’s, you can re-live some of those moments by singing your heart out in a karaoke session available to you through the Jeep Compass Karaoke web page! We encourage you to visit the web site for an interactive ‘studio’ session. In addition, you can create an electronic character to accompany your recording.

If you happen to have any questions regarding the Jeep Compass Karaoke web page or the all-new 2007 Jeep Compass, feel free to reply. Or you can contact the Jeep Information Center via the phone number provided below:
To anyone who checks it out, I hope you enjoy the site!

The funny part is that the Compass isn't even a real Jeep in our eyes...

JP Editor, there is no funny part. As I said on the singing jeeps thread (trying to be nice to Miguel), o mi god.
I'm sure there's and advance degree or two in marketing involved here, and at least several hot off the presses 20-somethings full of $6 lattes.
I mean, how obvious is obvious. A couple of times a year DC, like every other US car maker, runs super specials with sixteen million dollars off, no payments until your grandchild is born, and they throw in a space station. For free. On pretty much every vehicle, as they are sitting gathering dust in lots all over the US. Except the fine print always excludes Wranglers. Now, there's a reason for that. Because people are buying the real jeeps. Overpriced though they are. Hummers ran away with sales for years. Toyota could reintroduce tojos. There's an emerging picture here. It's called make more of a product that people are obviously buying. And lose the wannabees.

Anyone that is old enough to remember the 80s will probably not be buying this ugly imitation jeep. Now, some of us may consider the Patriot as a vehicle for a spouse or teenager. The compass is just too ugly and underpowered.

I 'm guessing that it is a nice little car, that rides nice and is great for around town etc. By Why the JEEP name? I mean dosen't DC already have a car like that ? why not sell that one? Keep the jeep name for REAL JEEPS like the wrangler,grand etc. I think(as do alot more) that DC is going to ruin the Jeep name and all that it stands for. Lets face it ppl aren't going offroading in a compass............BTW what do you drive???

It's definitely great to read all this feedback regarding the 2007 Jeep Compass. This is certainly the type of response I was looking for. Now, many of you have made some strong points both for and against the vehicle. And I find that the majority of the negative points, although valid, have been made on a subjective basis. Which takes me to my first points.
Everyday as I encounter more and more vehicles, an emerging theme has been resonating with me. Take a vehicle for what it was constructed for. Not only does this apply to it in a mechanical sense, but also in a financial and business sense. Although the intricacies of economics would bore or baffle many, everyone knows what type of effect population demographics, income statistics and rising fuel costs have on the thought process of americans on the look out for a new vehicle.
Sure, Jeep has always been known for its great off-roading capabilities, and will probably continue to be perceived that way for years to come. It's what's made it into somewhat of a 'niche' brand. However, as much as this may be the mindframe, a purely niche oriented brand can suffer in the long run. Now more than ever, there is a need for compact vehicles with utility-inclined features. The compact market is something that Jeep, or DaimlerChrysler for that matter has not spearheaded with models that will really compete. We all know the story of the sad fate of the Dodge Neon. Ever since the Dodge Omni, there hasn't been a DCX compact that has truly been able to compete.
Further, through my many forum travels I've noticed that there's an incessant domestic cry for improvement. Improvement of fuel economy, quality, sales, resale value, brand image. The 2007 Jeep Compass has filled a gap that Jeep enthusiasts were not aware existed. The fuel-economy gap. Coupled with affordability, this vehicle will definitely fare well in the mass market.
At this point, the strongest suggestion I would have would be to objectively review the vehicle. For what it's functions were created for. For it's affordability, it's utililitarian features, it's target market, it's efficiency. Truthfully, it's undeniable that the Wrangler, being the next in line for Jeep in terms of size, is a difficult vehicle to live up to. However, as Jeep has recently embarked upon a vast expansion of vehicles in their lineup, it's brand vehicle spectrum will be more complete and thus, more prominently present the unique differences in each model.

the XJ was fuel efficient
the deisel KJ was fuel efficient. DCX killed 'em both. now we get a hopped up Neon to fill the fuel efficiency gap?

Cadillac said the same things when they introduced the Cimmaron, but they forgot that people that buy Caddys don't buy small cars, and people that buy small cars, don't buy Caddys. Same with Jeeps. People that buy jeeps, aren't looking for fuel economy. I have had my college economic classes and I understand you reasoning behind supporting Jeeps effort, but I must disagree with Jeeps decision to build a non-jeep vehicle.

I've seen them in person too. The pictures look MUCH better than the car actually does. the Compass is down right ugly. It looks like someone took a Dodge Caliber and put a fake jeep grill on the front. Oops, that is exactly what they did! I hope Jeep drops this imposter line soon.
