    we would have loved to have stepped up into one of those, they are a great vehicle heaps of power and accessories now....we wanted a quadra lift, but these are made in Japan (quadra lift) and because of the Sunami we have to wait until mid next year. they can't put them on after, as they need to go in during manufacture stage....so decided as it was $15k more for the basic we decided to go with the wrangler for a few years....this wrangler has a lot of bells and whistles that our current one doesnt have including a better gear box, and a bit more power...but we can see the new Grand Cherokee being a very competitive vehicle with the prado and other similar vehicles.....

    We are getting parts from it...the bullbar, winch, towbar, and were keeping roof racks but decided not to as the back window was a little different on the new one...and it would mean a hard top roof swap over....lol...

    The missus was toying with the idea of salary sacrificing a new car when these 4 doors came out and had it at the top of her list. She did the sums though and it didn't seem worth it when the old Outback was doing a good enough job.

    That will be our next car in a couple of years, maybe one will be traded with a quadra lift...we want it for towing purposes...so glad your sister finds it powerful and a good vehicle
