For those who are wondering what in the world this will be, here's a quick synopsis. Simply BAD MOTHER frickING arse!!!
Its the 707 hp, 650 ft-lbs torque supercharged 6.2L hemi(Hellcat) in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, making it the fastest full sized SUV to date. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, a half a second faster than the BMW X5 M.

quote:

he Hellcat-ified Grand Cherokee, which we’ve been telling you about for a while now, was shown to Fiat-Chrysler dealers during the automaker’s annual dealership meeting in Las Vegas yesterday, Automotive News reports. As it will pack the 707-hp 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 found in Dodge’s neck-snappiest Challenger and Charger, Jeep told the assembled vehicle peddlers that the all-wheel-drive SRT Trackhawk will accomplish the zero-to-60-mph sprint in an astounding 3.5 seconds. For the record, the quickest such time posted in our last mega-SUV comparison test was 4.0 seconds, by the BMW X5 M. Timing for the Trackhawk’s arrival wasn’t confirmed, but our latest intelligence suggests it will be on the road by next summer.

That thing is fugly, and I like the new Grand Cherokee. For $90k, I'll just spend the extra $9k and get the X5 M. Don't care if it's a little bit slower.

A 707hp SUV, because your kids need to get to soccer practice faster.

Why would this appeal to anyone? Why wouldn't these people get a sports car or at least a sedan?

It's still a POS Fiat-Chrysler product. You can get a lot better for less money

Why would a sports car appeal to anyone? They're impractical, usually uncomfortable, etc.

This is a rhetorical question obviously.

I feel the same way about this as I do about the Porsche Cayenne/Turbo.

Family vehicles for soccer moms transporting kids don't need 700 horses.

My brother paid 70k for his SRT Cherokee. It's nice, but not 70k nice. No way I would pay 90k. He just had to pay over $600ea for new tires. Second set he's put on. They only last 20k miles.

Why are SUVs only for soccer moms?

because people actually race the JGCSRT. They run in the 12's stock(the 6.4L hemi) as a full sized suv. Also, its the perfect compromise for fathers with multiple children. you can put put around in a Surburban or Enclave, or you could have 707 hp attached to an 8 speed automatic transmission matted to a n AWD system and have some serious fun.
