I've decided I couldn't live with an escape eco-boost, the throttle response made me want to get out punch someone in the face, maybe a moose.

Also, the new Cherokee is actually a pretty great drive on road, high levels of grip and limited body roll and the 3.2 revs really nicely to nearly 7000. Its surprisingly fast. I made Ray uncomfortable.

Lastly, That tight suspension doesn't bode well for off road pursuits.

Go Ray Go!

The Cherokee has really grown on me. I really like the way the Trailhawk looks, and seeing it in flesh at the NY show helped. If I had to get a cute ute, one based on my Dart wouldn't be bad. I'd like the 1.75L out of the Giulietta though, because turbo. I'd actually love the 1.75L in my car.

Does it have different suspension settings? I'm liking it more and more, not sure about those rims though...

Pretty sure that's a VehiCross, bro.

Get bent, Nibbles. I didn't click the sky.

Not as far as I can tell, they look like regular struts to me.

Too bad.

Apparently it right's itself. Eventually. I've posted many a "damnit that's not what I selected" but it fixes itself. Somehow. Witchcraft.

Yeah, I know. But it's 2013, this shouldn't even be a temporary thing.

Kinja comes from the future. A horrible, horrible future.
