Yeah so I cant remember exactly how I stumbled upon this, but I decided to share it. See what everyone though of it. I personally think its disgusting and horrible. How anyone could disgrace a Jeep like that is beyond me, obviously they are missing the whole idea of Jeep as an off-road vehicle. 
havent you ever heard of the grand cherokee SRT8? its been around since 2006...its AWD but no low range...its just intended for the road...
honestly i kinda like it..who wouldnt want to pull up next to a C-5 corvette in a stock SUV and smoke the corvette..
ok, maybe not "Smoke" the corvette but it would keep up with it, maybe even walk away from it depending on the driver of the vette and if its a stick or an auto...stock for stock that is

who gives a F*** its a badarsh, fastest production jeep,any of you guys would take one in a heart beat, and if you guys that dont think their not real jeeps drive one you'd have alot of respect for them,i had an awd red srt8 hang wit me on the street up till 60mph and my stang runs mid 11's, i was very impressed wiht them after that. Like stated theres a thread like this on every jeep forum if you dont like the srt8's,commander and all the new ones then you dont need to waste bandwitdh on saying their not a real jeep. Jeep cant just make offroad vehicles when the econemy is going to crap they have to make other cars that appeal to everyone if their not 4x4, or solid axle oh well. Would you rather have jeep fold like saturn,hummer etc.
those SRT8s are one sweet rig...if some one doesnt like it then dont buy it...no one is making you buy it...keep buying solid axle cherokees etc...
now just for the record, the SRT8 is the only IFS jeep i would buy..but its bc itll do the quarter mile in around 13.3 seconds...0-60 in 4.7 seconds..i believe that thats not only the only fastest jeep, but i believe thats the fastest stock suv in the world...and Jeep makes it...not ferrari...not porche...not lamberghini (sp?) but jeep...not only do we all drive jeeps, but its an american company..not german, not italian, but american..
and for the guy who thinks its just a dodge magnum with a jeep logo, go find some proof of that...go find where its a dodge magnum...bc ive never seen 2 vehicles look so different, yet is claimed to be the same thing...
this is all just my 0.02...so sorry if it affended ticked some one off, but i had to explain my opinion on the topic

I guess I should have been more clear here. The only problem I have with this Jeep is that it looks like a car. I honestly thought it was a Grand Cherokee with low fenders like a ricer. I personally think thats dumb... I did not know of the STR8 and that they are stock, to resemble a car.

i personally dont see how they really resemble a car...but to each their own.

the ground effects are ugly but that does not mean its not a jeep. I have an 06 Grand and we love it! I have never driven a better handling SUV. Tight suspension and hugs the road like you wouldnt believe. But because it is not rugged does not mean its not a jeep. On wet, and snowy days, I feel better knowing my wife and young daughter are safe on the road. What jeep should be ashamed of is the two wheel drive wrangler... now that is just wrong!

ha ha ha, you are right about that. any other jeep is ok but not a wrangler.
the grand is an excellent vehicle for protecting your family. we were rear ended in our 93 grand cherokee by a lady who feel asleep with the cruise control on and all we got was a bit sore for a few weeks. it totalled the grand but i was ok with it because the car in front of us was full of little kids in no seat belts or car seats so they would've been killed

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a 2wd wrangler.
