Here’s a [review of the 2008 Jeep Commander](http://car-reviews.automobile.com/Jeep/review/2008-jeep-commander/5219/ “Review of the 2008 Jeep Commander”), which by the way will be the last year of the Jeep Commander’s. I would avoid the urge to purchase one too, as it’s just an ugly vehicle. Hold out for something better, like a 7 seat Grand Cherokee or a Diesel Wrangler Unlimited.

>As suggested by its slab-sided styling, the Commander offers utility and a roomy, airy cabin. The rear seats are progressively stepped up, theater style, giving back-seat riders a view of the road. This feeling of airiness is enhanced by a pair of glass roof panels, though the third row is best reserved for 10-year-olds.

Who needs 7 seats anyways?

Jeep Offering to Lease You a Commander For Less Than $200

In an effort to offload as many Jeep Commanders possible, Chrysler is offering enough incentives to drop a 27 month lease for a new Jeep Commander for less than $200.

DaimlerChrysler AG’s Chrysler Group is leasing 2006 model year vehicles at a drastically higher rate than crosstown rivals General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. as it works to unload a glut of new cars and trucks.

Lease deals can help automakers boost sales because they typically offer lower monthly payments.

Dealers say Chrysler is making lease deals on 2006 models even more attractive by lowering lease interest rates, relaxing credit requirements and raising vehicles’ residual values.

I am not a fan of leases, because like renting your apartment, you end up with nothing. but, if your looking for a car and can’t afford a lot, this might be a good deal for you.

Flex Fuel Jeeps

The 2007 Jeep Commander and the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee will operate on ethanol, if you happen to have an ethanol station in your area of course. The fuel, which is currently not readily available, is made from corn. In 2007, any Jeep Commander or Jeep Grand Cherokee that is purchased with a 4.7 liter engine will be able to run on the E85 variant of ethanol.

Other 2007 Chrysler Group vehicles that will support E85 are:

* Chrysler Sebring sedan and convertible with the 2.7-liter engine
* Dodge Dakota and Dodge Ram pickups and Dodge Durango SUV with 4.7-liter engine

Let’s hope that they get on making the 2008 Jeep Wrangler E85 compatible.

As I am still looking at this Jeep page, I am sitting here pondering the fact that even pictures, the Jeep Commander is huge. Really, it is bigger than all of the other vehicles on the page. Rightly so, because it is, but still it is so much larger than anything else.

The Commander is Safe

The Jeep Commander has earned the highest safety rating given out by the federal government.

The following is from a DaimlerChrysler press release.

The 2006 Jeep® Commander has received the government’s highest rating for frontal-impact crash protection from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Jeep Commander’s five-star rating for frontal crash protection makes it the 11th new product from Chrysler Group to achieve the top safety rating in the governmental frontal crash tests.

“Chrysler Group is offering Jeep Commander customers peace of mind through more standard safety and security equipment and the application of a broad range of engineering technologies,” said Craig Love, Vice President – Rear-wheel Drive Product Teams, Chrysler Group. “The inherent stability and security we design in to all Chrysler Group vehicles is enhanced by both passive and active safety systems, whether driving on- or off-road.”

The new 2006 Jeep Commander includes the highest level of standard safety and security technology and features ever offered on a Chrysler Group vehicle. Introduced for the first time on the Jeep Commander, standard side-curtain air bags with a roll detection system deploys air bags in certain rollover and side-impact situations. In addition, Electronic Stability Program, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Brake Assist, Anti-lock Brakes, and 4-Wheel Brake Traction Control System are also standard on Jeep Commander. These are only some of the many safety and security features — designed in from the beginning — that provide the Jeep Commander with the ability to “go anywhere, do anything” safely and securely.

Starting with the Chrysler Pacifica in 2003, Chrysler Group has had 11 product launches that produced NHTSA-rated five-star vehicles for frontal crash protection. These vehicles include: Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler and Dodge minivans, Dodge Durango, Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Ram Quad, Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Dakota, Jeep® Grand Cherokee, Dodge Charger and Jeep Commander.

The 2006 Jeep Commander is built at Chrysler Group’s Jefferson North Assembly Plant (JNAP) in Detroit, Mich., on the same production line as the award-winning Jeep Grand Cherokee.
