ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 16d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 14/05/11 02:30 AM Share Posted 14/05/11 02:30 AM I thought I would share the great news that I have just ordered the wife a new car (or truck). After some extensive searching, we have decided on a new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with the new Diesel motor.Ordered on Friday and delivery expected by end of July. The car is a great value for money in the sub $80k market. Based on the new 2012 ML Merc floorpan, it ticked all the boxes. The only other car I really considered was the new Territory, but all the tech in the Jeep made up my mind.More pictures of the beast are HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I might be a bit disappointed with the power of my first new diesel after driving turbo sixes. I was wrong, standard 650nm + chip = 800nm so far and soon to be new exhaust for a bit more. Looks to have a lot of good stuff built in at a low price compared to other vehicles in the same class.Hope to read your review of the new rig after you have it for a while. Read some of the reviews of the new diesel motor and they seem to get a pretty good rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
