Not looking to buy, although if i was in the market, i would snatch one in a heartbeat.

Just curious to see others opinions.

Ive been a huge fan since the 96 JGC, but the new one is truly pushing the bar in quality and design.



electronic ride height adjustment FTW

I really like the new GC and the ad campaign is pretty good, too. In case you haven't seen it:

yup, very inspiring. America: The Story of Us + Jeep

Saintor

Big improvement.

But 4800lbs+ and a peaky base engine don't mix. 260lbs-ft is at .... 4800rpm!

Sarlacc

I've driven one. I loved it. Very nice in and out.

If I could swing it I'd buy one for the wife.

^^^ Buy one for me! I actually looked an 04 GC before the TL but I wasn't too impressed.. Athlough, I LOVE the 11 GC

Crazy Bimmer

pssh, bet most of those parts in the Jeep arent even American made.

I like the new one so far though.

Gfaze

Looks like a beefier Ford Edge.

I like it alot and can't wair for the new SRT-8 version!

Saw one at the dealership and even in base Laredo trim, its designed extremely nice inside and out. Its been added to my short list of possible new car purchases... and amazingly 80% of those on the list are American with no Honda products...

Looks like a Ford Edge in front.

MrX123

I really like it. I was a HUGE fan of the original one (Especially the post MMC ones), and not so much the others. This new one, however, is SICK! It would seriously be on my list were I looking for an SUV and had a 45k budget. The base engine is acceptable, if nothing else, but I don't care cause mine would have a Hemi in it.

It's a big improvement from the last one.

Spike TL

I'd buy one. They are not to bad looking.

SeekDPR

It looks good. I drove a last gen and was not impressed at all. I wonder if they will do a SRT version.

It's a great looking vehicle!

It is amoung my favorites in SUVs, design-wise but as a Jeep it is waay too expensive. And the gas mileage sucks.

jim165

The key here is to either buy one used, or wait for the inevitable monster rebates to come about a year into the model run...score!

007Acura

unless your constantly going off road i don't think it's worth $41,000 in v6 overland trim

I do like that it shares the Mercedes ML platform

JediMindTricks

been a huge fan of grand cherokees since the mid 90s. love the new ones. i'd definitely look at it. that and the new explorer.

charliemike

The leather in the picture of the interior looks awesome. I'm a huge fan of that color.

The JGC is one of the last remaining SUVs that is really meant for off-roading. But if you rarely or never do that, isn't your money best spent elsewhere on a CUV?

06cmv6

best looking grand cherokee to date IMO...i would buy one for looks alone

make sure to get an srt8!

Infamous425

i loved how it looks in pictures until i saw it in person. so bland. not ugly but just very bland.

Here comes a question from somebody with zero Mopar knowledge: Does anybody have an idea of how durable the 5.7's are? How about the drive line?

My dad is in the market for an SUV, and he really likes this one, on paper at least. We haven't driven it, but plan to next week once the 5.7 rolls into the dealerships.

Sarlacc

The 5.7's are solid. They have been using them for a long time now. And have and will have lots of aftermarket support. Even for the Jeeps.

The new pentastar v6 (which these feature) are supposed to be really good, too. Light years better than the current POS V6 they use.

phile

I love the new JC. the silhouette is the perfect look for an SUV.

Yup. They depreciate quite a bit. Still, there is the gas mileage thing (I think the SRT8 gets like 8 mpg). BUT I have to say the Cherokee is like a 3 Series Bimmer. It gets better every time.

S A CHO

Good to hear. It's amazing how many people still have the "It's a Chrysler, It's a peice of shit" mentality...

LuvMyTSX

It actually looks pretty nice, but I've only seen the commercials, not one in person yet. Even the interior looks much improved from previous generations. Just seems really expensive, though.

FiftyFive

I think it looks fantastic in and out.

Fireguy0826

I like it. But too much $$$

I have always had a place in my heart for GC's, but the 2011 excites me.
