That is the $64,000 question. Personally, yes, I think it will, regardless of its Jeep-ness.hmk123 said:So will the Cherokee do this well against the Escape, RAV4, CR-V, etc?![]()
Is that a flaw or reality? I know several people cross shopping the vehicles in the comparison and those configurations.Erik Latranyi said:The biggest flaw in this comparison is that not all the vehicles tested were AWD. The Grand Cherokee was RWD, the Santa Fe was FWD.

The GC in RWD is competing with FWD vehicles... Even though it is clearly more capable.

Ok now I get you. Depends on how you look at it. While I agree with you, the point they tried to make on Motor Week was that, even with the $38k price ceiling, you can get AWD in some of them.Erik Latranyi said:It's a flaw. Some were AWD.
The requirement stated was "To make the cut, these SUVs had to cost less than $38,000." Said nothing about drivetrain. And the score breakdown was "The experts' scores account for 75% of the total score; 15% from the family's scores; and 10% was based on fuel economy." Again - nothing directly having to do with AWD.Erik Latranyi said:It's a flaw. Some were AWD.
But ALL of these vehicles are - by and large - station wagons.plymouth1 said:Toyota Venza is not an SUV. It is a Station Wagon. None of these vehicles are even close to a Grand Cherokee.
Because this is what automotive blogs and sites SHOULD be doing - comparing vehicles and reporting what they found.plymouth1 said:Why did they waste time testing them when all they had to do was look at them. Grand Cherokee blows them all away big time
The Plymouth Trailduster was not available until 1974.jerseyjoe said:Can't believe I got priced out of the mid sized Suv market so quickly. :O
Glad I still like the 1969 Trail Dusters
Yep the 1969 TD is the one I can afford. Alternate answer, would you believe the internet lies?Mike V. said:The Plymouth Trailduster was not available until 1974.
