So Ive been seeing the commercials for this thing and after reading some reviews. I think I love it.

What really makes me happy is I had all but given up on what was to become of Chrysler after Fiat bought them out. After seeing their first output the future of Mopar is looking much brighter at the moment. I just hope it continues.

Now I just need to convince wifey that this is the SUV she needs to get when the kids come.

I think it ranks as one of the best looking Grand Cherokee's ever. They did a great job on the inside.

You should at least stop by the dealer and have a look for yourself. :biggrin:
You would never believe we are the same company. (yes I work for Chrysler)
The new Jeep is executed just as well as premium competitor vehicle.
Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

BTW- This vehicle was well under way before we joined with Fiat.
They DID make sure the Jeep rec'd more attention and support for the final execution.

Can we expect to see more products like this from Chrysler?

The spy shots of the next gen Charger are VERY promising.  Still no stick shift, though :crying:
