Considering we both have GM Cards, she's owned/driven nothing but GM and short of a Mercury, I've had all GM's this was a bit unusual for us. I didn't really want another SUV that got around 20mpg (replacing our Bravada), but none of the American cute utes did it for us, and we still needed the cargo room. We even stooped to looking at the Maxx out of frustration/desperation (the Bravada was going to need $ sunk into it before the dead of winter). Also didn't want an SUV because resale could be squat in a couple years and I may not want it then if gas spikes. Anyhow, Chrysler had some great incentives last week and we got a 15k mile/year lease with zero down for $400 a month and I couldn't pass that up, at least not on a vehicle that invoices at $30k

I have never been a big fan of the Jeeps, but just after I bought my wife the Chrysler 300 SRT8.....they came out with a Jeep version of SRT8...

Imagine that pic lowered with fat wheels/tires and aggressive stance....some body kiting.....and a 425 HP Motor..... :-D

And with 2 small kids.....the SUV thing would be nice! DOH!

I watched a srt8 jeep in action back in may. They say mostly stock. with some weight loss. I have another one with a killer burnout. Must be fun to get paid to run this vehicle. Srt Engineers.

Hey I think this drive-by is pretty cool.
