Don't like the front bumper or the wheels. That thing hauls though.

abisson · 04-19-2011, 11:34 PM

That bumper ruins the WHOLE car. In black it might be decent though.

What kind of transmission is in there?

TK-421 · 04-19-2011, 11:40 PM

Looks good from behind... which is what most people will be seeing anyway.

freshwhite335 · 04-19-2011, 11:56 PM

i think i like the old one better.

PINeely · 04-20-2011, 12:07 AM

Won't take long for someone to make a bumper to suit the engine. I'd like to see one with tall side grilles that incorporate the LED bar, shorter and a little bitten at the center grille.

CAPSGOD · 04-20-2011, 12:12 AM

those rims and bumper look so tacky compared to last gen's

Year's_End · 04-20-2011, 03:06 AM

Front is balls. Rest is cool.

freshwhite335 · 04-20-2011, 10:20 PM

i love my 06 Grand Cherokee, and even with the 5.7L Hemi that thing hauls. I really hope Jeep does some tweaks before the car hits the market

I cannot wait for this stupid LED light trend to be over.

Functional LED headlamps I can stand. This decorative shit has to stop.

Don't think it will tbh.

To everyone who keeps commenting on the LEDs: LED DRLs are going to be mandatory very soon. Basically, deal with it. Though I must say, it looks like Chrysler took a trip to Autozone and slapped a pair of shitty LED strips on the bumper and called it a day. Could've been properly integrated, but oh well.

lol, that and I'm not liking the chrome on the back or the interior trim. Silver or Aluminium finish should be used as a trim and not slapped on to cover the whole centre console.

DM1 · 04-21-2011, 08:51 PM

Looks good but I agree front is no good, wish to have one though that thing is fast as hell!

Once I saw an older model one try to do some autocross in a tiny track, the guy gave up and just smashed the throttle since he couldn't make the thing turn, I LOL'd.
