The interior is ok, but i dont like the 2 tone seats, they look just as bad as the rest of the thign.

titan

I'm not a big fan of the seats, dash, or center stack. The whole thing is needs to be reworked... more the outside than inside.

ItalianStallion

it doesnt look half bad to me. a lil more rugged lookin to me than the current one.

kansaiwalker1

Damm that is ugly. The interior looks nice though.

soopa

thats pretty awful.

the current jeep is one of the nicest classic designs ever.


now they ruin it.


the interior is half decent at least.



damn tho.


the first sketch in this thread is hot.

the pics are nast

heyitsme

Its alright, the interior is a nice improvement.

Nicky Pass

I think it looks better than whats out now!

gavriil

If Chrysler screws this up, they are done.

SiGGy

I agree, it looks like it's suppose to go do stuff. not be all pretty and carry the groceries.

But I like the old wagoneers myself

Those wheels have gotta go. It'd look a lot different.

titan

Damn right they're done if the screw this up... or ATLEAST JEEP is don't; which would be a shame. Damn Chrysler, get it together. This ugly ass truck sure isn't enough to save the brand.

I am not sure how reliable this info is, though I cant see why it would not make sense to see such a version vehicle from the Jeep folks. Notice the centered exhaust setup. I am guessing 390-425 HP for such a vehicle.

phil2

Kinda looks like a Durango Fucked a pacifica!

cusdaddy

Those wheels look terrible on that truck. Hopefully they are just temporary and part of being a test mule

Red-CL

Grand Cherokees look worse every year.

Rod

I've always thought those were the fugliest most uncomfortable SUVs.

Zoot

this new jeep looks awful...PATHETIC

Sarlacc

I saw one of the new jeeps out here in la the other day, All black and taped up and masked up.

First impression, HUGE and BOXY. Looked like a throw back design. not digging it.

SiGGy

I agree jeep has taken too many design characteristics from the Dodge durango. Which is FUGLY now too.

ItalianStallion

looks like.........



your links failed!

gavriil

Latest info is that:

"this isn't the SRT version but a Hemi version (namely the 5.7 ltr). "

Zoot

yea that makes more sense...but either way its fugly

Spy Shots: ’06 HEMI Grand Cherokee - - by Hans Lehmann/Hidden Image - Source: The Car Connection


Jeep's marketing has always centered around off-road abilities. Higher performance for a Jeep has always meant ability to climb a steeper grade or tackle a rougher trail. Now these prototypes, caught during summer testing, indicate a new type of high-performance - performance on the road rather than on the trail.

Jeep engineers were spied recently with two similarly equipped high-performance Grand Cherokees. Some disguise covers the front end, but one can still clearly see the huge lower bumper air intake scoop that is much larger than the standard intake. This indicates the need for additional engine cooling as used on high-performance engines, typically those that are turbo or supercharged. Considering that the standard Grand Cherokee already can be equipped with a HEMI V-8 engine, this even more powerful model must indeed pack in the horsepower.

The prototype vehicles are equipped with large diameter six-spoke alloy wheels shod with very low-profile high-performance tires - tires meant for use on the street and not off-road. It is also interesting to note that the big dual exhaust pipes are located in the center of the rear bumper - taking up the slot normally used for a trailer hitch. No trailer towing for these street racers!

But what will Jeep call this high-performance, street model? They have no history of such Jeeps. Perhaps they will borrow a designation from Dodge and call it the R/T, or maybe one from Chrysler and call it the SRT. Whatever it is called, you can be sure it will be one fast Jeep.

titan

Doesn't impress me... I don't like the exterior style at all. A high performance doesn't mean to much to me either.

Nothing like a 425hp SUV that can't tow anything because the rocket-scientists at Jeep put the exhausts in the way of where a tow hitch goes ...

TSX 'R' US

I'm not feeling where the tailpipes are....

CLovis

that thing needs to be taken out with the trash on garbage day

Chaptorial

They need to give the "fast" SUV's a rest already.

gavriil

Hehehe...

Isnt there another spot to place the hinges in order to tow? Do they have to be right in the middle?

gavriil

I do. They totally say, "I am fast and badass"

TSX 'R' US

I think they'd look better off to the sides and not directly in the middle of the vehicle...

Can you imaging trying to load something in while the car's been running for a while...ouch!

charliemike

Good god yes ... for balance purposes and to displace the weight of the trailer you do

4U4ME

need more HP for this monster engine

1SICKLEX

Whats the purpose of this thing, to kill people?

ju5tchi11in

dunno but i saw a commercial for it... the Hemi...looks like another huge ass gas guzzler... but one that can actually take it offroad.

Beltfed

From the Regis show....awesome

lets see... the regular hemi only gets like 13mpg so this one will probably get 10mpg. looks nice though.

heyitsme

It a pretty nice looking suv and the power is over the top, only prob is why would I be looking for an suv with that much power that most likely can't handle it?

Also wish car makers would understand that chrome doesn't make a wheel design good and would instead design nice wheels.

darrinb

thats sick!!!
