The compact Cherokee sees its lineup trimmed before the end of decade-long run.
The aging Jeep Cherokee is not dead—well, not quite yet. The current Cherokee compact SUV lives on, for a little while at least, but like the scene inwhere Rose lets go of Jack, it's time to start letting the Cherokee as we know it slide off that proverbial floating door and into the sea.
