Despite the bad news, Chrysler has big plans for the Grand Cherokee when the 2011 model is released in 2010. According to company reports, Chrysler will invest $1.8 billion retooling its Jefferson North Assembly Plant (Detroit) to build the next generation Grand Cherokee as well as several new models. The side benefit of this investment is that Chrysler expects that the beleaguered Motor City plant will need 400 new workers.
Completely new save for its optional carryover V-8 engine, the 2011 Grand Cherokee has traveled leagues in refinement while not losing its vaunted off-road capability. But don't worry, you'll get used to rock crawling in luxury almost immediately.
