Same reason you’d buy a Porsche Macan over an SQ5. The Range might handle a bit better or you might like the design of the interior or exterior better. Or it could be brand loyalty. Who knows? Why the hate? I think it’s a great idea since the Evoque is way too small for much of anything and the full on Sport is…

Can you ask why they didn’t put it’s face on the Cherokee?

If you think dealers are going to step in and be the bigger man, you are sorely mistaken. Instead they use this ‘military discount’ as yet another tactic to lower the prices of vehicles on their website. When I went in to buy my current Grand Cherokee, I was told the price was actually $1500 higher than shown online…

And as I learned yesterday, when I turn the parking lights on instead of auto headlights (DRL’s still at full brightness), the DRLs do not go off when the turn signal is on.

For the record, I turn on the parking lights on dreary, overcast days when the headlights wouldn’t help me see any better, but I’d like the rear…

Not the 20 oz

Not the 20 oz

If you went on the Jeep site last summer, you might have noticed them promoting the facelifted 2017 WK2 Trailhawk and it’s place in the recent Independence Day movie. Then if you looked at the movie trailer and screen shots in the background, it showed a bunch of pre-facelift ‘14-16 Overlands with grilles painted to…

I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee. When the headlights are on, the LED DRL’s are much dimmer. So when the turn signals are activated with the headlights on, both the headlight and the DRL remain on as the signal flashes.

NVH. Ford said they developed the exhaust as much as possible to reduce the NVH from the inherently unstable flat plane crank. But yeah, go ahead andthrow on some crazy snake-style headers and catless midpipe to make it MAD LOUD BRO!

Didn’t Noble offer an Alcantara wrapped roll cage in their fastest cars? Or was that Koenigsegg?

I was driving in a heavy downpour on the DC beltway in a 570whp ‘98 Cobra I had recently purchased, worn drag radials and all. A local cruise to Philly was called off because of the rain, so we were driving to get lunch and go home. I was doing maybe 55 mph in the second to the left lane. Rounding a very slight…

I’d recommend theDrive.

Basically the same thing with Jeep. Costs $4500 for the diesel upgrade and you can only get it on the Limited and up. So the cheapest diesel WK2 you can buy is $43k. And that Jeep gets halogen headlights and a 6 speaker stereo because it’s another $3k for the luxury package. But you DO get more exterior chrome…

Sweet, now make a Tiguan R with like 400hp and I’ll be at the dealership tomorrow.

He was too busy personally hunting and killing OBL...

Nicer interior?? Better ride quality in the STI?? Sweet.

*sigh* Still no hatchback, still no care.

And to respond to the comment section, yes, I would buy one. I had a ‘12 WRX hatchback a couple years ago and I’m bored with the Jeep I got to replace it. If Subaru made a hatchback again, I’d be at the dealership…

A new WRX hatchback...

Some of the funnest rock crawling trails I’ve been on were literally driving up a stream.

True. Watch a rock bouncing video and every flipped vehicle is righted by 10 or so rednecks in about 15 seconds.

Saw a vid back in engineering school where they were brake testing a Humvee with a hospital-spec cargo box. The rear brakes locked up before the fronts, it fishtailed, then rolled over hard. I’d say with wear and tear, and a little bad maintenance, it’s possible.

You didn’t really cover the two main issues here.
