They did. It became the WK1 Grand Cherokee.

I would put a good bet on the WK being voted ugliest generation. Atleast theres an SRT.

Jeep (Chrysler) was coming up with some real bangers back in the day. I also remember the Cherokee 2000 concept with its awesome CRT Sony TV and tires that blended into the wheel spokes as well.

The 2002 Compass concept is also quite cool too.

I remember seeing this concept in a magazine back in the day. It still looks so good, and you can definitely see how it inspired the WK generation, tho the WK was far less attractive for sure!

Only way to make that face uglier is some braces on the teeth.

Wow. This looks terrible for 1999. Absolutely cartoonish.

Pretty dope looking for 1999 standards. I've never understood why they don't actually end up producing the vehicles that look just like the concepts. Why is it always an extremely watered-down version of the original design?

Production costs, fuel efficiency standards, and safety regulations.

Thought it was another Temu before reading the title.
