2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

http://www.insideline.com/jeep/grand...auto-show.html



Apparently all the new SRT models need to be in black to look good. The front end seems awkward... Not very happy right now.

when buying a Jeep that can do 0-60 in less than 5s, looks are somewhat secondary

I wonder if GM will get back into the hot rod SUV business!? They had some nice ones in the past - Trailblazer SS and Typhoon. I hoping for an Escalade V!

Regarding the SRT8 Cherokee!

The look of that grill and the way it meets the bumper and hood are just plain wrong. It looks like an afterthought that someone just glued into place because something had to go there. Very poor fit and finish for what will probably be close to $50K.

I like it, but I'm not a Jeep purist.

I think it looks nice... but jeeps are supposed to be off-road kings, and a body kit like that has no place on an off-roader in my opinion

They have the offroad versions too, top being the Overland, of course you are just as well getting a V6 Laredo with the Off-road group 2 . I like the Jeep Grand Cherokee for every purpose myself

We must be seeing different pictures or you are being fooled by the angles and reflections on the picture, there is NO gaps or build quality issues there. the whole thing is tightly put together just like every other Grand Cherokee on the local lot....
