I think MSRP is around $44K It's going to be sweet to test drive once he gets it. Hey MOPAR is good.

0-60 in under 5secs, I doubt that, but I sure it is very fast. Nice looking Ute!

I'm probably going to replace the M3 with the SRT GC, just waiting to test drive one when it comes out (or shortly after its intro).

Would go with Inferno red, although looks evil in black.

The color above, steel blue, isn't availabe until like Jan-Feb production.

I've always liked fast SUV's..... going back to the GMC Typhoon.

It's definitely a really sick truck and I would consider it as my next vehicle, but would anyone else fear of tipping over? I could imagine flying down the highway at 100 mph in that thing, having to make a sudden stop, and all of a sudden something terrible happens because of gravity. I just can't feel safe speeding in a truck like I would in a car, which is what you'd obviously end up doing with those 425 ponies.

Pretty awesome truck, but I guess that's why I will never be seen in one.

Typhoons are awesome. A good friend whose dad works for GM has a 1991 (maybe 92) Typhoon and only has 25,000 miles on it. The car is babied to the extent of the Ferrari in Ferris Bueller.

Your dad runs WJJeeps? If so, he is a very good man. That site has helped me out of a pickle with my WJ more than once... Does he also run the WKJeeps site? I'm assuming yes..?

Why? I don't go offroading and having an SUV is useful for my hobby (sorry I don't want a station wagon).

If you want to go offroading you can buy any number of Jeeps.......Grand Cherokee Laredo, Limited, Overland, along with the Commander and Wrangler.

Just because its a Jeep, it can't be marketed as a fast street rig? Nonsense.
