Car & Driver has reviewed the 2008 Jeep Patriot. It’s a favorable review for sure. My favorite line from the whole thing is…

Autoblog has a great bit about the wonderful City Man that is pushing the Jeep Compass. I have to say that City Man is somewhat embarassing to us real Jeep owers. I don’t think that it’s going to push Jeep Compasses out the door either.
Jeep’s hip-hop Bobblehead spots for the Compass have been taken out back and shot. Like the Compass they were shilling, the Bobblehead spots were only effective at being crappy.

So buyers need to reflect on how they’re going to use the Jeep — as a serious tool, or a fashion accessory? — before they commit.
The conventional two-door has been joined by the first four-door Wrangler, called the Unlimited (which should not be confused with the 2006 Unlimited, a stretched two-door). Base prices begin at $18,765 for a Wrangler X with four-wheel drive and run to $28,895 for the Unlimited Rubicon. I tested both versions.
