With the 5.7L Hemi its a pretty swift and strong daily driver and off-roader in some cases.

The SRT8's are really impressive, the other engine offerings are a bit underwhelming.

I was looking at the SRT8's. They run pretty much the same price as some of the Camaros, I was pretty surprised haha

They are built great, albeit a little cheap on the interior, and run good but the gas mileage is horrific. other than that cant complain about my '07.

Dont have the moolah haha. This is my second option for a first car, after the Camaro. But Im seriously considering this one instead of the Camaro. A STR8 would be awesome.

I have a 2009 and I absolutely love it, definitely the best suv I have owned.

I'm upset that GM doesn't offer something similar.

Yes, I agree.....my '05 Jeep is good in snow/ice,etc. cheap interior for sure- my leather seems like vinyl and the gas mileage is crappy- I get 17-18 at 3.19 per gal.....ugh! My Camaro SS surpasses it at the tank for sure! but it makes a good "Winter Rat" while I can't drive my Camaro in the winter months. The 2011 is very nice but so pricey and so fancy you really can't call it a Jeep. IMHO....

Sure they do...its the Traverse and Acadia...but, the price range is off....and it doesn't seem as rugged in my opinion....I feel I can take my Jeep off road but I couldn't say that about an Acadia?...maybe....??

I meant as a higer end performance model. They need to bring back the SS badge. Possibly on a Tahoe.
