Very nice, but JEEP done dropped the ball. Why did JEEP get rid of the center dual exhaust. U wanna tow? That was the coolest feature. The designer needs to be fired. The old one looks better. The rims are ugly and why for the love of God did JEEP not build it with the push to start button? When you put out your top of the line (SRT8), all the bells and whistles should be included. I was about to trade in my truck for this JEEP. I don't know anymore. The new Charger may be the way to go.

It sits to high needs a lower stance unless it has the same suspension as the regulat one and can be lowered
