New info was just posted by the owner of wk2jeeps.com <staff edit> that the new 2011 Grand Cherokee WILL HAVE front and rear electronic diffs. He also hinted at new info on the 2012 SRT8. I would look into wk2jeeps.com the next couple weeks for (hopefully) more info on the 2012 SRT8 Jeep

He also hinted at new info on the 2012 SRT8.

Can you Quote what was said, rather than everyone looking through every page to see what the hint was?

Yeah, that's the only place I could find anything as well. It said:


6.4-liter V8 HEMI (2012 model year?)

A 6.4L-liter V8 HEMI with MDS has been approved for production, and unless cancelled is set for a possible debut in the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8. Other models rumored to receive the new engine are the 2012 models of the Grand Cherokee SRT8, 300C SRT8 and the Charger SRT8. The new engine was derived from the 540-hp "392" crate engine that was introduced by Mopar at the 2005 SEMA show in Las Vegas. The production version is expected to produce anywhere from 470-hp to 510-hp.

Milous seems to have good intel gauging his previous posts.

I hope he is right. But, since I am getting a 2010 I can wait 3 or 4 years and then think about a new one.

OK...When Milious and RS chime in with factoids like that. I'd take that bet ALL DAY LONG!
I am going to start trying to figure out how to break it to my wife that I already want a new Jeep! :eek: I'm going on 4 months and 7k miles. :cool:
I love this version, but the enhancements will qualm most of my issues with the current edition.
Can't F'in wait!!!!

If it's still around in 2014 or 15 it'll be something to think about. After they fix all the problems they are bound to have the first year or two of the new production.

Jeep has really gone to extensive lengths to make this model better. there are huge improvments across the boards.....

I agree. Now they are going to have to go through the same routine again with the new production model, motor, tranny, etc. No matter how much work they do(or any car manufacturer) they usually don't get it right until a few years in. JMO anyway.

while i personally agree with your point, probably best to keep all this to yourself.

if no one bought the 06 SRT8's there would not have been any subsequent models......just some food for thought.

There's more people out there who "JUST GOTTA HAVE IT 1ST!!" that holding on to they fix things isn't going to sway those people. Plus, the people who gotta have it, usually don't care about price and pay full price and sometimes more for "Market Adjustments".

Sounds just like me when I bought my 06

Until it's in production it doesn't mean anything. Chrysler mite not even make it that long.

Im relatively new here, little over a year, but were there really that many problems with the 06? And, isnt that what warranties are for. FTR i got one of the first 200 z06's and i have not had one issue with it, not one. Maybe i am just lucky.

No. The biggest issues for the 06 were that in auto stick it was tough to not hit the rev limiter when shifting from 1-2 (that was fix with the TSB that automatically shift from 1-2) and the brake squeal.

I had an 06, and those were the extent of my problems for the 22K miles that I owned it. Those saying there were "issues" obviously did not own the 06.

I'm going to have to agree with bee3633 here. It's easy to hint at a lot of things, but the hard part is following through. It's also important to notice that this economic downturn really hasn't improved at all and with the way Chrysler is struggling now, I have no optimism for production of Chrysler "supercars" in the future. I would certainly love to see a 2012's but I'm not going to cream over a vague statement which can easily be misconstrued. Just my 2 cents. Sorry to be a pessimist.

But with all that being said, I love the fcuk out of the Jeep SRT8s that are around today and wouldn't trade mine for anything. Appreciate what you have :cool:

No there are not so many problems with '06's........I owned one for about 2.5 yrs (from new) and just about 30k miles.....any issues were fixed under warranty (like any other car). The Jeep was used everyday.....:)...and yes I still own a Jeep SRT8...bought another new one last year....
