Has Anyone had a chance to look at the new jeep that just came out? Looks Pretty nice 415-horsepower 6.1-liter HEMI V8 and 0-60 in under 5 seconds sounds like a pretty nice suv to go along side of the EvO!!??!! What do you guys think about it???

lol... no more SUV's for rejects to slap big bulky "dubs" on, NO MORE... give me an SUV that gets great gas mileage and is big and bulky, but not too big, and off the ground fairly high... that seriously looks like a Jeep Grand Cherokee from Midnight Club 3... however, it's pretty cool that it does 0-60 that fast, though the Cayanne is already doing faster than that

Still tuning it, but my 0-60 is in the 3's, no 1/4 mile times yet.

I like it...i doubt it will get much worse gas mileage than any other SUV but will have the power to beat up on Mustangs and ricers. (always good in my book).

My wife's mdx gets 12-14 mpg in town and 19-21 on the highway.... i would guess this thing gets about the same..... but it will have 150 more hp.

Wow!!! 0-60sec in under 5 secs!!! Yeah, but your gas gauge goes from full to empty that fast too!!! I know I'm not getting one with the way gas prices are these days close to $3 a gallon. Hell No!!!

I do not understand the purpose of a 400hp SUV. I guess some people nowadays are just getting so rich that it doesnt even matter, but, if it was me, I'd buy a sports car for the speed and another vehicle to use for towing or for moving the family around. That Jeep handles like garbage anyway, its based on the new Durango which is not a very high quality vehicle. This just proves again that imports are better overall vehicles than the domestics. Honda doesnt need to put 400 Hp in its Honda Pilot to sell them.
