I wonder who thought the floating D pillar was a good idea. It doesn't look too bad with the dark top, but on models where the roof and body are the same non-black color, that doesn't look very appealing to my eye. It would be interesting to have some insight into the rationale behind that decision. It's almost like, "Hey, this thing might look a little too good. What can we do to rub a little ugly on it?"

It looks much better in person. Living near the Auburn Hills campus I have seen them on a daily basis. Just wait to see in person.

I hope you're right. The floating D pillar seems to be causing quite a bit of angst, disappointment, shock, horror etc., within the existing Grand Cherokee owner community. That's just based upon reactions on some other forums and is probably anecdotal.

Do you have any insight as to why Jeep went that direction with that particular design element? I get the impression it wasn't always part of the plan for the 74. I don't work in the industry and can only assume the decision wasn't made simply for aesthetic reasons.
