-Jeep Grand Cherokee to get 3.0L diesel V6 in North America by 2013 - The Hemi version right now gets hideous gas mileage

This is huge! I have the last generation CRD Grand Cherokee with the Mercedes 3.0 CRD motor. With a tune it is at 325hp and 480+ftlbs. It tows an open trailer with the M3 easily and pulls down excellent fuel mileage. Not to mention, it's amazing in the snow!

After driving a new HEMI Grand Cherokee for a week, the first thing I told my wife was that if it gets a CRD, I'm buying one.

now I'll just need to come up with the 40k to afford one

The interiors on the new Grand Cherokees are NICE. It's not quite Range Rover level, but you can tell that was inspiration. Definitely nice for the price range.
