the new doo-rang-go 2012 or 2013 R/T


I was at the JEEP store when they introduced the all new Grand Cherokee. The Durango and the Grand Cherokee are essentially the same vehicle. That's a good thing.

Chrysler as a whole really benefited from the short lived Mercedes ownership. The Durango/Grand Cherokee is based on the ML platform and it is superb. All the important details on this vehicle are spot on. The only drawback is that the 5.7 litre engine is a little thirsty; however, if I were to get one the 5.7 litre would be the smallest engine I would consider. The Pentastar V6 is an excellent engine, but it's just a little too small for my tastes in this sized SUV. It's also pared with the older 5 speed transmission. The 6 speed transmission that is mated to the 5.7 is better. win/win

Honestly, I would personally buy one. That's about as strong a stamp of approval as I can give.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

The last two new car dealerships I am/were at are Chrysler/Dodge/JEEP/RAM and Chevrolet.

I'm trolling, pay me no mind.

It is cramped back there, yes. Would they work in a pinch? Sure. But I wouldn't put anyone back there very long.

If you are looking for 3rd row seating, nothing beats a Suburban.

I posted in someone else's thread about looking at a new vehicle, and I've been doing some reading here: Upscale mid-size cars. Personally, I've been looking at that Buick Regal, ranked #2 on the list.

Buick (GM) has been coming out with some great vehicles as of late. It's not your Grandpa's Buick any more.
