Title: Cherokee jeep
Post by pat on Jul 1^st, 2007, 2:56am

Sky news today. Journalist after journalist referring to the vehicle at Glasgow airport as a Cherokee Jeep. Even the on screen banner said the same.
Robin Reliant all over again. Where do they get these people?>
Sent them an email but no response. Hands up all those who are surprised. No - thought not.

Apparently the strike on Glasgow was "expected" by US officials 2 weeks before it happened and that the suspects were being tracked, see here after the advert http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3334550

Keep watching as they go on after the next advert to talk about the London attack

Hi Pete.
I DO as it happens! I also remember a film where an American gangster said "If my baby wants a Royce Rolls, she'll HAVE a Royce Rolls."
You see, I was right after all. :D

Cherokee Jeep vs Jeep Cherokee

You are right, Jeep is the make, Cherokee is the model.

Don't people in the know (anoraks ;)) refer to these cars as "Royce's" because Henry Royce was the engineer who brought the technical side and Rolls merely the vulgar salesman?

Could have been a clued up villian? ;D

Jeep is a generic term for any Military Utilitary 4x4 vehicle many years before it was a Division of Chrysler.

GM and Ford also made wartime versions of the Jeep.

It was only recently that Jeep became a Designated Marque.

So when someone says Cherokee Jeep, they're maybe correctly vdescribing the model and style of vehicle, like; Mini Van, Granada Estate or Golf Convertible.

We're talking TV presenters here!
Most of them are not exactly noted for deep thinking.
