New Liberty / Cherokee nose

[Derek Mc]

I was having a sniff round the jeep.co.uk site as I am "STILL" impatiently awaiting my CRD to be retrimmed in leather, however on the animated shot I saw a strange thing, a KJ Limited with what is almost certainly a Renegade nose!
Anyone else spotted this and anyone know why?

If I just bought a brand new Jeep only to have it replaced in a few weeks I will not be a happy bunny!

Thats the Renegade Rocky Mountain edition from the US.

Not sure as to why, but the Jeep Cherokee 2.8 CRD's in Korea are identical to the U.S. Liberty Renegades...except for the cool tire covers, which I see on Euro models (and the badging, of course). Maybe the Renegade nose is supposed to signify it as a diesel engine.

Thank goodness for that, I really like the Renegade nose on that model with all the add ons and extras but the "bug eyes" look of the normal model is a cute touch on one of the worlds toughest off roaders that made it so friendly to my wife's eyes. It was just when i saw that as a separate model on the UK website,,,,
well I will have to go visit the .com site now :-k

Also, Just found a model called SportStar sold in Germany has the Renegade snout but no fog lights above the bumper or inset and no roof bar, it may have been this one I have been seeing.
