Jalopnik Reviews: 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Part 3-December 2024

Because you want an SUV that packs over 400 horsepower, runs a low 13-second quarter mile, handles like a slot car, and goes 0-60 in under five seconds. Because you like the idea of a vehicle assembled in Detroit, USA and Graz, Austria - next town over from Thal, where California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was born.

Because you are one of the few people that actually uses the towing, hauling, or off-road capability of an SUV.

It’s Time To Treat Yourself To An Awesome Deal On A Fiat 124 Convertible
It’s Time To Treat Yourself To An Awesome Deal On A Fiat 124 Convertible
Even though 2020 is coming to a close it seems like social distancing will be the norm in 2021. I can think of no better way to enjoy the outdoors, away from other people than some top-down motoring. , and that means deals! When Fiat announced that it would...

At $6,000, Could This 4WD-Converted 1987 Jeep Comanche Be A Truck You Might Pick Up?
At $6,000, Could This 4WD-Converted 1987 Jeep Comanche Be A Truck You Might Pick Up?
The seller of today’s N Comanche says it was converted to 4WD from its original 4X2 base. Let’s see if this midi-pickup’s price is low enough to get you to convert in its favor. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that there was something...

At $56,000, Would You Add This Retro-Modded 2006 Dodge Durango To Your Motor Pool?
At $56,000, Would You Add This Retro-Modded 2006 Dodge Durango To Your Motor Pool?
A remarkable amount of work has gone into today’s Durango to turn it into a reasonable approximation of a classic WWII WC Wagon. Let’s see if its price seems just as reasonable. If you are going to spend less than a grand for a running, driving car, you shouldn’t...

At $110,000, Could You Get Wrapped Up In This 2012 McLaren MP4-12C?
At $110,000, Could You Get Wrapped Up In This 2012 McLaren MP4-12C?
It’s said that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and today’s McLaren certainly has a devilishly misleading look. Let’s see if this cleverly wrapped supercar has an equally clever price. I think the three best-known U.S. military transport vehicles are, in order of importance, the Jeep, the...

At $59,500, Could This 1979 Ferrari 400 GT Be A Grand Tourer That’s A Great Deal?
At $59,500, Could This 1979 Ferrari 400 GT Be A Grand Tourer That’s A Great Deal?
While the 400 may have been the first Ferrari model to offer an automatic transmission, today’s GT eschews that convenience for an old school clutch pedal and manual shift. Let’s see if its price has you clutching at your pearls. Hey, do you remember last year? I know, for...

Wrapping Up 2020 for 'Nice Price or No Dice'
Wrapping Up 2020 for 'Nice Price or No Dice'
Another year is in the books, and as 2020 was all kinds of a crap year, we shall be burning those books posthaste. That’s not before we delve into all the cars, the votes and the changes that made up in 2020. This is the fourth year in a...
