New Jeep Grand Chicory

Yeah, it's got a Hemi in it. Fine and dandy. Problem is, it's UGGGGGLEE!
Looks like one of the rejected designs for the new/current Dodge Durango.
Taillights are the stupid kind and look like the design that almost went
on the Chevrolet Equinox until someone at Chevrolet said "Clear
taillights! No! Dude! We TOTALLY have to do clear taillights!"

Ptewph.

Agreed. I'm sure Car and Driver will cream their jeans about the
"silky-smooth V6" being better than the "agricultural-sounding pushrod
inline 6 it replaces".

Does it sound like a Honda? If yes, praise. If no, make dumb jokes and
then laugh.
