http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/20/2...ver/#continued Looks bad ***!

 

The only Chrysler product I would ever consider owning.


That one is kind of ugly though.

 

 

I don't see an ounce of ugly on that vehicle, sorry.

 

I love when automakers quote the range of the vehicle to tout the efficiency of it. These mileage numbers are meaningless when you don't consider the size of the tank.

The '11 Grand Cherokee has a 24.6 gallon tank, so a range of 450 miles puts the SRT8 Cherokee at around 18 mpg highway. That isn't Ram SRT-10 bad, but it isn't impressive either. Now I know fuel economy would be the last thing to worry about if you're buying one, just saying....

 

Looks good but how much is it? Over 50k?

 

I'd buy that for a dollar!

 

I'm going to assume yes. The old model was close to that number. The difference between a TBSS and STR-8 was about $8k-$10k.

 

That is one beautiful ride. I'm still surprised that it doesn't tow more than 5k with that powertrain and platform, but still nice.

 

maybe if i could see the rest of the pictures it would change my mind, but I really don't like it in the first pic.

I LOVED the older style

 

I'm in love with the look of the new GC. It looks very serious.

I do think that Chrysler fully understands what it's doing when it advertises the range at 450 miles. If you're buying this car, it isn't to save gas...so, then the question becomes, since you know it will use gas quickly, how many times will it have to be filled up? If it only has a 16 gallon tank, that's only 288 miles of range, assuming a constant 18mpg. For most people, that's filling up once in just less than a week. Worse if you're on a long distance trip, you feel the need to fill up maybe at half tank not knowing where the next best stop is, etc. Gas guzzlers come with range anxiety too, albeit a different kind.

 

Want.

 

From that angle, the grill and lower fascia just doesn't look right. I would have to see some more pictures. I do think the regular GC is the best looking one yet.

 

The best thing that most of the new Mopar designs have going for them is that they don't look cheap anymore. They may still be made cheaply but at least from a design standpoint they no longer look like disposable rental vehicles.

 

I was just going to say this, all the commercials are like with the pintstar V8 you can go XXX miles before filling up. Whoever see's an automobile this way and CARES about fuel mileage needs to rethink. My camaro could get 1k miles a tank, if it had a 50 gallon tank. (maybe 70).

Don't get me wrong, I hate jeeps, and most of the owners, but that thing is looking good with the ***** to back it up! I seen my first srt8 jeep only a month ago and when he laid into the pedal, angels were singing!

Like sitting in traffic nearly on E concerned if your going to make it to the next gas station? Been there
