That’s the dilemma for us with the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo: More than ready for prime time

By Don Hammonds
Want to know where Chrysler is headed?
Look no further than the 2011 Jeep.
 
On second thought, look at the new Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, too.
Bu today we’re focusing on the Grand Cherokee Laredo, a greatly improved and vastly more competitive product for the company.
Grand Cherokee has always stood for luxury and rugged off-road performance. But in our view, you would have to go back to the first generation way back when to find one that truly personified both …

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Opening A New Chapter

The new Chrysler is off to a rip-roaring start with an  all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee that just about everyone agrees is a huge step forward when compared to its predecessor.

Not that you won’t recognize it. The all new chiseled, angular shape still looks precisely like a Jeep, and it shares quite a bit of styling flavor with several recent Jeep concepts.
