I don;t get it i mean really? why do they have to put the same engines into every platform they have? and a jeep with a ton of HP why? if i get a jeep or truck or something liek that it would either be for all show or for off roading. the last thing you need is 360hp or whatever this thing puts down off road. thier inline 6 was awsome for off road use.

its a jeep though. the last thing they need is a bigger engine that gets worse gas mileage than the regular engines. and knowing jeep it'll probably run into leak problems w/in 2 years.

Anybody read the Road & Track review of it? They said it's nothing like any other Jeep SUV and it's one of (or maybe THE) most capable, well-handling performance SUVs they've ever driven.

Oh, the HHR... now THAT is one AWFUL looking vehicle. I can't believe the guys over at Chevy were like...

CEO - "Hey, I drew this on a napkin. It's called 'spaceshit meets PT Loser.' You like it?"
Yes Man - "Oh, yessir. Best car I've ever seen, sir."
CEO - "Beautiful then. Into production with the... HHR!"

my dad owns the new jeep with the hemi and its a blast to drive. I raced a camaro on the highway and smoked his *** with the gas only half way down. That being said my dad has had a few problems with it already, not sure if its because of it being built on a new platform or what. I do know that we never had any problems with our 1996 grand cherokee until 2 years ago but it was approaching 200k miles so its kind of expected to have problems then.

The Jeeps are not a recommended buy period.

I would take a jeep over any other SUV available right now except for maybe the ford escape or explorer. I don't think much of the styling for most SUVs available right now.

have any of you riden in just the hemi grand cherokee?? i ahve a froend that has one and they beat the new mustangs in the 1/4. they are pretty quick, and i know the 300c srt8 does a 12.5. they are not a force to be reckoned with at all. not a single 7thgen on this site would be able to keep up! on top of that the interior on the 300c is insanely comfortable. its like buys a benz amg model but for $50k less

chrysler's new cars based on mercedes platforms have been pretty impressive so far. I can't wait to see the new challanger and imperial concepts they are about to release.


Imperial

no no no. They are a very reliable company. They asked questions that only official x-box 360 give away companies would ask. Like for my ssn and birthdate. They had letters from other winners like Mike J from chicago "I cant believe I wan a real x-box 360 I love these guys" or Mike V. from atlanta "this is awesome the only way you couldnt get laid with a free x-box is if you were gay!" So i think its for real.


An srt jeep is sick. Yeah when we hear srt we think neon but remember they did make the viper. but then again the srt10 cant beat a hyundai look at street fire under funny.
