Why is that a joke, I think it is pretty impressive that the ( 4-door sedan) GS has a shorter braking distance than a Ferrari F355 and a Porshce Boxster, so it's obviously in the same league as the forementioned cars as far as braking goes.

Thumbs up

I dont know why the fuss about braking, I think the GS has the best brakes out of any car I've driven, The thing stop Quickly and smoothly, in fact, if it wasn't for the GS's breaks, I would have taken off someone's Door, I was pulling into this gas station/ car wash and was going about 20 mph through the parking lot and right at the last second this jeep swings it's door wide open, and right as soon as I hit the breaks, Didn't hear any tire screetching but I flew straight into the steering wheel and my car came to a stop faster then a blink of an eye, So IM very impressed with the braking of the GS's IMO
