Hmmmmmm, good point and maybe at the last minute this will turn out to be the Chrysler "Navigator" instead of a Jeep. Looking at this Grand Wagoneer's grille and headlights sure does remind me of the Chrysler emblems/logos a lot, especially if you take away the 7 Jeep slots.

Maybe the Durango will be better. Supposed to share the same platform with the GW and Ram

I'm all for it as long as it takes sales away from cadillac.

Some time ago I stated to another car guy that the SRT Jeep is the Upper Class ride and above whatever cadillac makes..........................he doesn't acknowledge me anymore. laugh2

I think they are going to struggle overcoming the name stigma with something like "wagoneer". To us younger folks, that goes along with buick roadmasters and wood paneled station wagons...neither of which drive me to consider it a "high dollar luxury vehicle" that they are trying to position it as.

Looks nice, and the upper class is doing well so it'll sell.

Would look better w/blacked out B/C pillars.

Will be more reliable me thinks than say a German or RangeRover SUV.

All those crazy screens are cool now, but going to be a nightmare when they all start screwing up 5 years from now out of warranty.

Here in the Tulsa Oklahoma Area there was some test mules spotted. Saw one post with 2 GWs and another where they were travelling with a another SUV that was heavily camouflaged. See pics

What do you think the camo'd SUV is? The GWs are camo'd but not to that level. Unless its just another GW they didn't get a wrap for.

Could be, or a basic wagoneer. I really like the design. They all are going to have the same basic shape but I have driven a Flex and don't see them very close. The GW is much bigger too. I real prefer it to the Chevy and Cadillac offerings for sure.

The GW had been rumored for awhile. I expected it to just be a Grand Cherokee but on the longer Durango Platform, I did not expect them to make it off the Ram Chassis.

Norbert Buscha of Grandwagoneer.com, a shop that sells fully resto-modded, $200,000 versions of the classics with more than 150 modern upgrades, doesn't see it. "The design direction the company has taken has zero relationship to the original Grand Wagoneer," he said. "I don't think it's aligned at all. It has nothing in common with the original. It doesn't share any of the styling cues. It just has a few cheap attempts to call back those original design elements and piggyback on the name, brand awareness, and connotations of the original Grand Wagoneer."

Having owned a wagoner, it’s horrible. When the old ones were a ails or new they were expensive compared to most ads, so that’s expected. I’d just expected a little more style and a little more utility. Like an excursion.

Well, the old ones generally stayed the same for an almost 30 years sans some updates but, not much. These days I see a lot more of them that get LS swapped or some other engine swap such as a 440 or Cummins 4BT.
