My Chrysler product rides waaaayyyy better than most trucks out there. Smoother and quieter. (I've driven new Chevy's and new Ford's. No comparison. And my truck is over 9 years old.) Plus, that info/entertainment system is the most advanced out of the big three, by far. But, that's not the selling point for me. It's looks, power and comfort. All the videos I have watched and all the articles I have read about the Jeep come up good to great. There are no SUV's that can come close for the money. None. Unless you want to spend more than 70k. I cannot spend more than that. Not even sure I can afford the Jeep until I see what the dealerships are willing to do for me. Burton,...you really need to do a youtube search for the 2014 SRT Jeep. They all love it. It gets rave reviews from everyone. Plus,....it's American muscle. 70k is A LOT of money, don't get me wrong, it costs more than my Roush. I have been thinking about it and I'm going to cringe when I have to take it out in the snow and bad weather because I spent so much money on it. I'll see what the dealerships, (I'll go to 2 dealerships and that's my cut off), will do in working with putting me in one. If I don't get a good deal,.......2015 Evo MR it is.
Tony, yes sir. I have. I thought I put that in my post above? If not, my bad. Yes we drove a 2014 srt8 specifically around. It was red. My buddy wants to sell his 2013 mdx to get that thing. But anyways, yes we drove it. I also ride in it. It's "ok". My point is/was, for 70+k, I would expect A LOT more than that interior. The interior quality is the same as a regular grand Cherokee at half the price. You're really paying for the engine, pretty much. I'm just not a fan of the Chrysler interiors. Just personal preference.

I must have misread your original post. No biggie.
I thought the SRT was the only model to have the leather and suede alcantra seating? And I think the seats are a little different. Yes,...the interiors are similar other than that.
You gotta pay for performance. Look at my Roush and your car. You've put a lot of money into your car to look good and go fast. Same thing with the SRT Jeep. It's all done. Just get in, push start and go. lol
Now,.......if I could just afford one. I'd be happy. Won't know until March of next year.

Kinda hot, huh?? I have my heart set on the white. Looks killer.
I do like the red, but my heart is telling me white.
The same goes for the Evo MR. If I get that instead, I'd get a white one.

LOL
The 2015 SRT 8 has 475 hp and 465 tq. The thing can do 0-60 in less than 4.5 seconds. Depending on weather conditions, it can even be less. Thing is beastly Burton. I was telling my barber about it today. He was like,...what kind is it??? lol He's not a "car" guy.
As for the blower,........if I buy that Jeep, I'm flat broke bro. lol

I'm actually surprised that one, the dealer had one on the lot and two, they let you guys take it out on your own. That's pretty awesome though.

Took the green machine out yesterday after going for my walk. It was too nice out.
Took a couple of quick interior pics, since I don't have many of those.
