The cherokee (XJ) went away in 2001. It was "replaced" by the jeep liberty 
(sold as cherokee in outside the US) in 2002. (The liberty has a non-solid 
front axle and an front pumpkin....). I seem to recall that the "reason" was 
noise about the I6 powertrain not meeting emissions specs or somesuch... (I 
believe the I6 was sold in the wrangler through the end of the TJ production 
(2006))

FWIW, the liberty was available in a diesel in 2005 (only 10k sold in the US... 
but then Mercedes only sold what 3500 210.025's each of 1998-9)

Toyota has build a reputation for building affordable and reliable 
transportation, boring as the rest of the Asian cars but the perception of 
quality is there.
