angular lines
The Grand Cherokee's prime competitors--Explorer and GM's Chevrolet Blazer/GMC Jimmy twins--have gone for more rounded lines in their most recent redesigns, giving them all a more contemporary, aerodynamic appearance. Grand Cherokee, however, has maintained the angular lines and boxy shape even through its latest restyling.

sharp-edged lines and lower nose
The leading exponents of the new, more angular trend in design are Ford, whose Focus features what they call "leading edge" design. You could try looking at stuff on the Focus to get the new buzz words.
