I have decided to get rid of my beloved 4Runner. The new Jeep Cherokee has wow'd me over. Working with a dealer today to get one of the first ones that come in.

The new Cherokee? Blech. Hopefully this is just another April fools. lol

I was hoping for at least the turbo-diesel Grand Cherokee.

looking at your sig and the headline of the article "Reimagining a Brawny Jeep for a Less Rugged Landscape" it just doesn't add up.

Good luck though.

I'm just too skeptical to fall for this stuff today.

I'm not totally abandoning Toyota. I have decided to also trade in our Audi S4 for a Toyota Prius.

That's cuz it was supposed to be this Fiat/Maserati CUV:
IAA 2011: Maserati's Jeep-Based but Ferrari-Powered Kubang SUV - Carscoops

But the press made so much fun of it, they canned the idea. Jeep decided it was worthy to still produce with just the Jeep badging.

Glad its an April fool's joke, I'd seriously question your sanity if you traded an S4 for a Prius and grabbed a Fiat Grand Cherokee! :O

I'd rather drop 20k more on our 4R to put a Toyota D4D and standard trans in it!

:scared: Ha.... Title of the thread got me good... I would never suggest a Jeep ( or chrysler product for that matter) to anyone. If you had really gotten a Jeep, we'd probably see you back on here within the next 2 years.

For those of you who fell for this, be aware this was an April Fool's joke. I'll keep my 4Runner until they lock me up in an old folks home and take away my license. Or roll it.
