Default Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I guess

Well it seems that Jeep is completely copying us with their new grand cherokee overland edition. And now the 2011 Explorer isn't even bothering to lie about the fact they just borrowed the technology and even the symbols and switches from us.

Ironically the idiotic Jeep guys failed to learn from us. The switch pack is located right next to the cup holders. I cant tell you how many have been damaged from coffee and water.

Yeah I noticed that too with the Jeep.
I have always thought the Jeep Cherokee Limited was a copy of the Defender.

It's fitting that Jeep wants to imitate Rover since the original Rover was based the Jeeps of WW2. It's about time Jeep realized we took their ideas and improved on it.
