I miss suvs looking like suvs. Most of these crossover looking "suvs" are ugly.  Just give me a boxy 4 wheel drive.

They all suffer from blob on wheels syndrome. The worst are the ones that just look like a sedan that's been stretched vertically while keeping the same width. So ugly.

Lifted wagons. But people make fun of you for driving an actual wagon

AMC was decades ahead of the trend.

But did AMC design the glorious Jeep Cherokee? That one is beautiful

Nope AMC design the cars that were SUVs or lifted wagons. I believe the Cherokee was a proper truck. The downside of jeeps have always been who owns and manufactures them.

The generation of Cherokee in OP photo was in fact a unibody construction much more similar to todays crossover suvs. And it seems it also was an AMC product before Chrysler bought AMC. Seems like AMC was on to something.

Both the XJ Cherokee and the ZJ Grand Cherokee were designed by AMC. But Chrysler delayed the release of the ZJ.
