    You can't be serious?! This is the best you could come up with for a posting on this vehicle? If I wanted to read a styling critique, Edmunds would be near the bottom of my reading list.

    Travis, how about addressing something that can actually help readers here with making a good buying decision?

    Travis, I appreciated this post and never noticed this before either. This post is warranted and along with the wide variety of other posts, gives me a picture of the long termers I wouldn't normally get in a review. I guess some will never be satisfied with these posts.

    I've seen worse wood trim applications...

    Tell me how the car drives, how the switch gear works, how the infotainment works, how are the ergonomics... Need I go on?

    Writing a post on something soooo subjective is useless and a waste of time. I can make up my own mind up as to whether it looks good. It's a piece of plastic trim. So you tap on it and it feels hollow and/or cheap. Duh...

    Give me a break.

    Interior and materials quality is extremely important in car buying. I think you're reaching a little bit for a reason to be mad.

    I don't like it either, but it could be worse.

    The whole door panel looks cheap and chintzy, reminds me of Mopar through and through.. reminds me of the Neon, caliber, dart.. the brand always had issues pulling off sophistication.

    selfie profile pictures are cheap and chintzy.

    Tapping on a piece of thin wood with a thick layer of poly on it isn't going to give any clue it is actually wood vs plastic.

    I think it looks ok, and reflects well on Jeep that they actually used real wood in a place and on a vehicle where plastic would have been perfectly acceptable.

    I logged in with facebook, but your ad hominem attack is particularly hilarious. I see no rebuttal though..

    It's wood because you guys optioned it like that? The interior looks pretty good to me.
