Just what Chrysler needs now, a gas-guzzling uber SUV.

Notice that one of the dudes is carrying what appears to be 1 liter Diet Pepsi with a sprayer attached

Noticed that too I guess opening the cap is apparently too much to ask out of some people. Anyway back to the Jeep You can't tell much from the camo that they have on it but its nice to see the bit of mesh grille that pokes out from beneath the clothing. However I'll reserve my judgments until better shots come out and it will show up at CTC eventually so I'll be sure to have my lens ready. However i question a SRT8 refresh especially when the market is so unfavorable right now for trucks like it

You really can't see that much from these pictures, and it does look like the guy has a spray bottle nozzle on that diet pepsi.

Might be a 6.4L Mule.

Did anybody notice the rear where there appear to be integrated rear tailpipes, ala Lexus LS?

Nice to see them updating their products. GM could learn something.

could be and I guess the facelift and integrated pipes are part of the package. Besides the Challenger and SRT8 Jeep are there any other models that we could see equipped with the 6.4 liter in the near future

Autoblog managed to get a few more shots

All 2010 SRT8's will have the 6.4L Hemi.

6.4L HEMI? Wow! Any chance that will make it to the Ram 1500

As far as the Jeep goes, this has to be one of the dumbest products that Chrylser makes as it is a large family-type SUV with a freaking HEMI in it

I don't see what the allure is to a big SUV that has the performance of some sports cars. Why not save the performance HEMI( 6.1, 6.4 ) for the Charger/300/Challenger and sport truck Ram 1500? Does this and the like( TBSS ) sale good or something?

The Grand Cherokee SRT8 is actually the fastest SRT8 (0-60) due to the full time AWD system (which decreases wheel slip in this instance), if the GC wasn't shaped like a brick it would embarrass the other SRT8's

Why would anybody want a GC that is faster then a Charger SRT8? Why not put full time AWD on the Charger/300/Challenger and make them faster so they can smoke the GC. There is no reason the Dodge should be satisfied with the fact that a brick like family SUV is faster then the sports car SRT8s

Because Dodge has the Viper, and it did have the SRT10 Ram.
