Went and got the Patriot serviced yesterday, they had 2 new GC. The black one looked great in the flesh.
After going there I want to trade the Patriot in for a New GC or a 300C.
I hate the Patriot. Its nothing but a waste of money.

I currently drive the Grand Cherokee Limited HEMI 5.7lt (2009 WH). I sat in the brand new Limited HEMI 5.7lt and it was quite impressive. My only grizzle is the Foot Park Brake - it encroaches across onto the footrest and if you're in an accident it will snap your foot, for sure. Good to see nice little improves ments such as:
* Remote Fuel cap filler release - no need to use the friggin' key which is hopelessly outdated.
* Electronic control for driver/passenger air con temp control - better than the fiddly dials.
* Conservative improvement for rear seat leg room.
* Conservative improvement in Cargo area.
*Remote tailgate release - nice touch.
*Seats both front/rear are quite comfortable.
I'm very interested in the top of the range "Overland" which apparently is still 2 months away, quoted 76k driveaway....
21lt per 100ks urban cycle fuel consumption is scary..... (as I currently experience....) interested to find out more about the runoured V6 turbo diesel, has anyone heard much more about the "Overland" diesel option possibility and performance data??

I've been in the V6 2011 model on an extensive outback trip.
it's an impressive vehicle and would easily compare it's power with my current WG v8.
The foot brake is a pain and I'm not sure what they were thinking but you can not do much with that.
It's very european in feel and looks and is excellent value for money. You get alot!
I like the dial for the differing terrains (on the fly) and the air suspension lifts it quite high. One negative of the air system, is if it's at max height, then the articulation is very restricted. Something that worried me a bit.
It's offroad ability did not over impressed me compared with others I've been in. but then again it was not the model with the new QD system. Nor is it targeting those seeking a extreme offroad vehicle.
It is a very comfortable drive and would be excellent for the touring & light- middle range offroads.
