With that snowplough front bar the Jeep SRT would be absolutely useless offroad.

And no low range.....

The Jeep SRT8 is more of a soft roader than a Territory

And me..... I think they look great, I wish we could get the AWD option (only about $1500 in the US) last time I was in the US I drove a hemi R/T AWD one hard in the snow.... and it just got up and went. Brilliant.

Dunno about up there but I saw a stretch 300C on Hoddle St in Melbourne the other day....it was awesome. I think the 300C's look awesome, they just need bigger wheels and a slight lowering job to top them off.

The wagon looks ok but not as good as the sedan. If I ever got an American wagon I'd want one with the wood panelling on the side kinda like the one Chevy Chase drives in Vegas Vacation And yes, I am serious! It'd be good for a laugh.

They're red hot.

I want one.

Diesel gives about 8.5L/100km, and goes pretty much as hard as the V8 on the road.

Jeez with some people beginning to like the look of the whole Yank Tank scene, I hope it's not an indication of the direction the Australian publics preference for cars is going... That thing looks shite!!!
