I don't understand how this vehicle is selling...
I test drove one of these a few months back. The claims that it has the acceleration of a V6 are bull. My Cherokee is probably 2 seconds faster to 60 (ok, inline 6 not v6, same difference). It definitely takes some time for the torque to really come on as well. I considered it until the dealership told me that it was not going to be available with the 6 speed manual and that there were basically no incentives to lower the cost - who heard of an offroad vehicle without a manual transmission option.
I went with a 9-2x Aero instead and saved myself enough money to buy gas for 7 years (at today's rates). I won't be able to do the Rubicon in my Saab, but I could do almost all the dirt roads, which is about all the offroad action Liberty owners subject their vehicles to, at twice the speed. IMO it's not worth it.
