Default 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

these here are official pictures of the new jeep
a little different but still good looking






if you look really carefully you can see a big screen that holds the new double-DIN nav screen

should be unveiled in New York in a month or two

and with a HEMI?!?!?! definite YES!!!

Actually, that double din screen is probably not a navi. It's probably testing equipment. You'll see a handful of test cars driving around in Michigan with equipment like that.

Hmm, can't really tell how big the thing is going to be from these pictures. I think DaimlerChrysler is in danger of reducing Jeep's brand recognition with too much cross-polination of Dodge truck designs with Jeeps. The new Durango could easily be the big brother of the Jeep Liberty aside from the different grille treatments and this new Grand Cherokee looks like the middle child of the family.

They need to make Jepp equal Hummer. That way they can sell a dolled up Durango (Tahoe) for many thousands more as a Jepp (H2)
