Jeep held up. despite a major price difference.
The new SRT8 looks beastly.

It is incumbent on you, yes You, to educate yourself to a sufficient extent that you are in a position to evaluate information issued from a position of authority. You are supposed to be able to recognize silly bullshit when you hear it.

Good read. Wish they had a video, I would've liked to watch the laps.

$55k( plus tax and fees ) and in 2 years its worth $34k, just not worth it unless you got that kind of money I guess

totally agree. 55k for a truck that gets very few miles to the gallon, right now isnt not worth it.
i went with the 6 cylinder and get roughly 24mpg. what i expected from a truck. dont need the speed, to be honest.It is incumbent on you, yes You, to educate yourself to a sufficient extent that you are in a position to evaluate information issued from a position of authority.

My lil cousin had the last generation Jeep SRT-8, and that thing was BADASSSSS. I hate the new one.
X5 is no comparison to the Jeep imo. X5 all the way. Actually thinking of dumping the M3 for one....but not the M version. Just regular.

I'd get a regular X5 over any Jeep.
