Commander - Accidental Classic?

I've been getting a lot of positive comments over the last year about my truck. Looking at prices for low mileage specimens, they have gone way up (I've seen several north of $15k USD).

The Commander with QDII is great offroad compared to other SUVs in its size class, can tow easily especially with the Hemi, has a ton of space for gear, has a really good comfort/luxury level and is cheap to maintain as long as you keep on top of things. It also has a unique look so you stand out from the crowd.

I think even though it didn't have a long run in the market its becoming an accidental classic. Thoughts?

I've always foreseen this model similar to the boxy 'AMC' Cherokee upgrade. A more luxurious handsome brother.
I knew at one point in time lots of people would flock to these for their off-road capabilities, and reliability by sharing the same platform as the Jeep Grand Cherokee!

Also I find it awesome the XK was manufactured within the city limits of Detroit. Not many models are actually made in the Motor City (Inner City) anymore!
