Regarding the supposed similarities between the '05 X and the Jeep Rescue:

Prior to the release of the H2, Jeep tried to sue GM for the grill pattern on the H2 because Jeep felt that it was close enough to thier grill design that it infringed on their trademark logo.

In the interrim they have seen the H2's sales go through the roof and they lament their lack of a real full size (read GIANT) SUV.

It was determined that the grill design was not at the time truly representative of the Jeep enough to warrant the lawsuit. (I don't remember every detail but..) I think the H2 had to be manufacturered with one less grill slat. At the same time GM was suing Studebaker (resurected) because their concept XUT vehicle so closely resembled the H2 that they felt that it was a direct copy.

In the end Jeep has taken great pains to present the grill as their trademark logo, hence the new advertising and the highlighting of the front grill on all of their adds.

Studebaker was required to make design changes to the XUT that would define what design features made the H2 a unique vehicle to GM. Eventually that vehicle will see production , probablly with a Ford Superduty engine and driveline.

Jeep, now undertanding what is and is not defined as an H2, has set out to make a full size SUV to go toe to toe with GM. The rescue is going to be a big SUV. If anything it will closely resemble the H2 as much as Jeep knows it can legally get away with while highlighting their trademark front grill all while being able to promote it as a "true" off-road vehicle as Jeep likes to call itself.
