Maybe that's why I soret of like the Musso's styling and it's real popular here in Korea (the only place they are sold AFAIK)?? The Korando is Jeep-like from the firewall back, but has a weird (to me) "stramlined" nose. It to is rather popular in Korea. So as long as they sell well who cares what some automotive journalist thinks? I think the Musso would sell well in the states also -- it's about the size of the XJ but sit higher (which makes it look a bit narrower, but I don't think it is). If there are no pics on the web I can take a couple and post somewhere.
