Yeah, it looks funky. Yeah, it’s based on an Italian FWD platform. But, it sounds like it might be pretty darn good. Motor Trend hated the Viper but they seemed to like the new baby Jeep, saying, “The Cherokee can compete head to head with any of the modern small crossovers on the road. Off-road, it will bury them.” You can read a summary of some of the other reviews over at Allpar
Here’s one for our growing WTF category. This custom Comanche will either sear your eyeballs or make you laugh. I kind of like it, but wish they’d picked a Ranger or S-10. A lot of work plus a fair amount of misguided creativity went into this thing. To add insult to injury, it now has SBC power. More pics plus Craigslist ad text after the jump! Via Jalopnik
On Monday we showed you Gregory’s Challenger. Well, he has a pretty cool Jeep, too!
Ordered the Jeep In February 2011 for my wife…..been modding it ever since. It’s my wife’s daily driver with 34K on it now…24K miles since I did the turbo install. The next step will be a blown Hemi….just don’t have all the funds for it now with two girls in college and two girls in elementary school!!
Lots more pics plus all the specs after the jump!

Most people associate Breaking Bad with Walter’s Pontiac Aztec. But I always think of Skyler’s awesome 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Of course later Chrysler sponsored the show and we got a Challenger and a 300. But I love the old Grand Wagoneer.
Same goes for Jeep and Fiat. For Jeep, it’s white. For Chrysler, it’s Deep Cherry Crystal Pearl Coat. And for the Viper? GTS Blue. You can read the full list after the jump. Via Chrysler
Allpar is reporting that a SRT version of the new Jeep Cherokee is in the works. It will be AWD and with a hopped-up motor and utilize the nine-speed automatic transmission. No word on the engine: could be a Maserati-sourced twin-turbo V6 pushing over 400 hp, or a turbo 3-liter Pentastar V6 producing anywhere from 375 to 410 hp. This would definitely help enhance the image of the new Cherokee and could be a cool little ride if the price was right. Rendering by Suzqo44 at Allpar
According to Edmunds, Jeep will build a new subcompact sport-utility at a factory in Italy. The new baby Jeep will be based on a Fiat platform and will be about the size of a Ford Fiesta. This will be a global vehicle, sold in the United States, Europe, Asia and beyond starting in 2014.
The SRT guys crashed a Ferrari track day at Gingerman Raceway with a white Viper. And what better tow car than a 470 hp 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT? Check out the video with Ralph Gilles after the jump! And you can read the full story at SRT
When Bob Lutz drove the brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee through the plate glass windows of the Cobb Center for the 1992 Detroit Auto Show it pretty much blew everyone’s mind. And there hasn’t been an unveil quite like that in some time. Video after the jump!
