Look at it this way, Buicks FWD 4 cylinder Buick GS is supposed to run around 40k and these cars would simply murder it. I am a little little surprised at the grand Cherokee SRT's price, of course the closest vehicles to it are made by Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche and you are looking at at least 30k more and the Grand Cherokee and the new ML even share a platform! So yes, i guess it is a screaming bargain too!
Well I didn't mean that the price should be lower than it currently is. It is lower than the GT500 and the speculated 50K price tag of the ZL1. That's what I meant. It is priced low enough. They just need to pump the HP to over 500 to make it even seem like its in the same class. Just because it's bigger doesn't mean people won't want to race it against other 2 door cars... That's my main point. You give it a 470HP engine when you know the competition is putting out 550+HP for their top of the line engines, weight aside, it just seems underwhelming. At least play the numbers game and get the HP past 500.
