Jeep has to figure out if it wants a mini van or something with off road capabilities! This is a very nice ride for the city/highway but not a jeep rubicon.Nothing new here, isn't everyone else doing the same thing? How about a real high speed desert pre-runner capable of blasting down the baja at 120mph! Stickers don't cut it for me!

My concept of a real scary Baja runner is a converted HMMWV made to look like dune buggy. I drive in Alberta in brutal winter cold and snow so any AWD or 4x4 Jeep will work just fine for me.

EnnNorak, I live in BC and would love to see your dream come true! Unfortunatly I share your dreams too! The car guys are lucky because they get performance but us truck/4x4/racing buggie guys get a bunch of sticker laden posers.SOL

I'm from BC as well. Off roading you need a good SUV. I think a well put together Jeep product would be great. I saw an SRT8 Grand Cherokee couple nights ago. I knew something was different about it and then I saw the badge. Does look mean though.
