DrDawkinstein Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Looks like Jeep is bringing back the Grand Wagoneer. Some great nostalgia there for sure, but I already swore I'd never buy anything made by Jeep ever again. Especially their SUVs, and especially at a $70k+ price tag https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a33796232/jeep-grand-wagoneer-teaser-silhouette/ 1

I do love the old ones. They are fetching a pretty penny in good condition.

Imagine Levi beginning a post with a word other than "imagine" ? But seriously, I think their engineers are even worse. Those transmissions are horrendous. We blew through THREE transmissions on my wife's Liberty in 4 years before finally dumping it at the Toyota dealer and getting a 4Runner. https://lemonlawexperts.com/faulty-jeep-transmissions/ https://www.cashcarsbuyer.com/do-jeeps-have-transmission-problems/

Just awful. It's funny to watch Dodge put out awesome American muscle and Ram start to really get its ***** together while Chrysler and Jeep just ***** their pants over and over. 1
Gugny Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 They need the boxy look. Those rounded edges and stupid headlights ruin it. I think they look terrible. I had 2nd generation (XJ) Cherokee (boxy) and 2002 (TJ) Wrangler. Loved them both. I wouldn't buy anything new from Jeep, ever. 1

Never had a single problem with it, and it could go anywhere. The last year Jeep made SUVs like that. They discontinued the Cherokee in 2002 and replaced it with garbage like the Liberty. All downhill from there. Never again.

I'm not sure how the modern day Wranglers hold up, but for the price of them, I can confidently say that I'll never know first-hand. 1
teef Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 i had a couple of grand cherokees i loved. i'd get them new and bail on them at 6 years or so before the big problems happened. for the money, you tended to get a lot. my old jeep may have even had an option or two more than my current car does, and i spent a lot more on my current car. they've been talking about this new model for years now. at one point it was supposed to be competition for the range rover, and was thought to possibly go into the 6 figure range. i'm not buying a jeep if i'm spending that kind of money.

It had been replaced less than a year earlier. I did like the car until that point. Fought with them for a couple months at both the local and corporate level and got nowhere. Had some fun when the dealership we bought it from cold called a few months later to see if we’d be interested in coming in for refreshments and to check out the inventory. They haven’t called back since....?
Sig1Hunter Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I love my Jeep GC. But, being able to go from 0 to 60 in it in about 3.2 seconds masks these petty complaints you guys all have.. Yes...that is me behind the wheel..lol Edited August 25, 2020 by Sig1Hunter Linky
4_kidd_4 Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Doesn’t look too bad against the lighter color. That green one is a trainwreck all around. My wife liked the look of the Renegade when they first came out, but it didn’t take a ton of sniffing around to discover that they are trash. Hard pass.
