Powerful truck, but IMO it isn't too attractive looking.

I love driving this thing. It moves!!!!!! it is a sleeper. People see a jeep and then they hear a rumble and see taillights.

The S type R is an awsome car as well. I was at the Car show in NYC and saw the new one. It really was sick.

I am happy with my choice. Having Kids soon so this truck will be great. When I have the kid his / or her first words will be HEMI. (can you say hemi kids).

I think it looks pretty damn good, waaaaay better than all the other jeeps EVER made! the center exhaust is a pretty cool touch too.

My brother and father just bought 2 brand new 2007 Jeep Cherokee Overland's fully loaded with Hemi's for my brother's business....I think they're picking it up today... maybe I'll snap a pic or two If I get a chance.
These things actually have amazing pick up...your head goes against the seat when accelerating. My brother traded in his 2005 with Hemi.

The overland is the model below the SRT8. Still a really nice truck. Those trucks are more trail rated. My SRT8 is more for the track. (SRT8) Street Raceing Tecnology

Yeah they actually contemplated the SRT8, but they're going to company cars, so not much use really, even though they are basically tax write-offs. Not sure about the SRT8, but these are great deals for fully loaded and brand spanking new...I think they're paying just over 40K for each.

wow nice research....i find it hard to believe the srt8 is so slow in that video...im not an engine enthusiast but it just seems that the jeep was going slow, and I know they're not slow..

I really like the new styling of the jeep. I just dont like the idea of the intake under the car by the tranny. Thats just wierd. It doesnt let a jeep be a jeep anymore :x It lets it go really fast though

it is such a great ride. It is like driving a sports car. It has the stiff ride and great handling. It is all togeather one amazing vehicle. The exhaust sounds rediculous at idle and when you hit the gas. WOOT!!!

IMO every SRT car is the best bang for the buck, atleast when it comes to power.

Test drove the SRT8 when I was looking for a car last summer...

LOVED the Charger, but it was a bit big for my tastes.
