If you got the Overland, I might buy "stunning". I owned a 2011 GC Laredo X with the leather interior and it's "stunning" compared to the last GC, but compared to a luxury car (MB, BMW, Lexus)....snope.

Mine was a T-U-R-D and I chit canned it with 3K miles. HORRIBLE. I wish you all the best of luck as it is a nice looking ride.

That would be a Porsche Boxster maybe? (largest gauge on dash is tach)

I remember your 2011 Grand Cherokee thread. I've had mine exactly a month now, 2K miles, zero issues.

I do have an Overland, with the leather stitched dash, etc.

Me too. I saw it at the Atlanta auto show and was also disappointed in the interior.

I agree. All of the cool American cars have terrible interiors.

They are getting better though. A lot of American car's interiors look better than they did ten years ago.

This is more the case, though, with GM and Chrysler than with Ford. Ford has significantly improved the reliability and build-quality of its cars in recent years, but they need to work on interior trim....a few Ford interiors, like high-level F-150s, are impressive, but many still need improvement.
