“I can’t prove you wrong with facts, so I’ll just call him stupid.” Nice job...

I make ordnance for the military at an R&D/production facility. Thinking about what goes into making almost 19,000 lbs of high explosive alone, it’s not that bad of a price. The ingredients are not cheap, the mixing labor is certainly not cheap, the overhead on our facility is insane due to the complexity of the…

My Jeep is the same length as my wife’s accord and far more maneuverable due to it’s tiny turning radius. Plus I have a reverse camera and front and rear parking sensors.

I guarantee you a SRT Jeep is more fun to drive than any generic sedan or compact car you could think of, and equally as fun as a GTI or other tiny…

That’s because a majority of Americans don’t live in big cities where they need pointlessly small cars to get into tiny street parking spots. And they don’t need great gas mileage because they only drive 10 minutes to work. But they do need to haul mulch for their yardwork or tow their boat to the marina and back. My…

Exactly. My wife’s ‘07 Honda Accord has nearly the same footprint as my ‘14 Grand Cherokee. Except my Jeep is much more maneuverable because of the greatly superior turning radius. Plus, parking sensors front and rear make getting into tight spots a breeze.

Aston Martin already owns the “stick random bright colors on the outside in random places” market.

Those seats look like they are from a special edition 370Z. But I guess as long as they build a limited quantity, rich fan-boys will be begging to get their hands on one no matter the colors.

Not a fan. Back glass is a bit too sloped, like they threw a leftover Macan hatch on the back of it. I’ve never been keen on the Panamera and this doesn’t help matters. Then again, I can’t afford one anyway.

I drove a 04 WJ for 2 years with the very basic mechanical PRNDL linear shifter. Then traded that in on a 14 Wk2, which I just surpassed 2 years of driving. So yeah, I can accurately compare the two.

“monostable shifters that did not provide a reliable method of determining gear placement”

Like the gear indicator on the shifter itself? Or the one in the dash display? Or the chime and warning when you opened the door telling you the vehicle wasn’t in park??

“and did not include any safety-override to prevent…

So like every other shifter before it, you push the button on the shift handle and pull all the way back. The Jeep is now in drive. How the bloody hell is that complicated? If you weren’t in drive before, you are now. If you were already in drive, it stayed in drive.

I don’t think buyers want an alternative. I bet half of Escalade sales come because people want blingy 24's standard on their luxury SUV. If these are the standard Navigator wheels and they have a large, chrome, 7 or 9 spoke wheel as an upgrade option, they’ll be good. But you better put those wheels in some of the…

Please tell me Ford is making at least one of those upcoming SUV’s really fast. Please? Why is Jeep the only non-luxury car brand making a fast, agile SUV? The Explorer Sport doesn’t count, the seats don’t even have side bolsters.

Holy hell, how much do you have to pay to not have grey plastic around the entire lower valence of the vehicle? Oh, it even comes standard on the Platinum? Hard pass.

Did they get rid of the full Sony dashboard yet? I won’t buy a Ford that has that crap on the interior.

Cue “It’s the gun’s fault!!” responses.

Oh damn, I’m way too late.

The Jeep looks so much better than the Durango.

Dude, what? I have a ‘14 Summit and the front/rear parking sensors are a godsend for an SUV. I can get the thing into the smallest parallel spots. The only thing that would make the system better isa more detailed, higher resolution radar like BMW. Not just 8 blocks representing the 40 Sq ft in front of my vehicle. I…

The 14 update was huge and the 17 exterior refresh definitely helped in the looks department. The Model X looks like a super bloated Model S that is trying really hard not to be a minivan. Plus it goes fast in a straight line once. Not around corners. Not repeatable acceleration runs. No aggressive looks and sound of…

There are a few people that value the brand over everything. But people buy the SRT for the performance and they can’t afford the Porsche in that performance space. And again, SRTs have almost all the Summit options for 75k and I bet a base Panamera doesn’t even have a reverse camera or heated seats.

Everything in your comment is debunked in the article. The Trackhawk probably used the 8HP90 trans or whatever is in the other hellcats, plus C&D said they just beefed up the transfer case sprockets and chain. Quite a few people on the forums are running Vortechs and Whipples on their standard SRT jeeps and haven’t…

Sure, but you can get an optioned out 475hp SRT for the same price as the super bare bones 310hp V6 Panamera.
