FCA is just rehashing the past and seems like all they have is the Jeep & Ram brand that are making them $$$ . . .they bailed on the small cars and SUVS that everyone seems to want. Thinking they could morph the Fiat European cars into Chrysler/Dodge branded machines - never seems to work. I have to admit, I needed a new company vehicle, and went with GM, because they actually had something I thought fit the bill. Nothing from FCA - was too much $$.
Not sure if the "new" STELLANTIS company is going to keep Chrysler/Dodge around . . . Jeep & Ram - sure, but the rest of the product line up . . . sorry to the Challenger guys, but the world is moving on into different directions . . . . good luck !
Just my 2cents worth (ok, thats Canadian, so $0.075 US) . . .
Cheers

Where's the wood-grain paneling on the side?

Where's the wood-grain paneling on the side? i forgot about the "plywood side" option. I'm not even sure if it was an option--I don't recall ever seeing one of the original Grand Wagoneers without it...

I've always been a big fan of the old Grand Wagoneers (especially the ones from the late '80s/early '90s). I always thought the fake woodgrain was kind of cool, if a little kitsch. The new Grand Wagoneer looks OK, I guess, but the $100K price? Hard pass.

While it is the same shape as a Flex/All SUVs/Wagon's I think they did OK. No way to copy the original and have it be any kind of aerodynamic. The Grand Wagoneer was the luxury SUV of its time just like the new one will be. It will probably do just fine against the navigator and Denali SUV.

Reminds me of a Lincoln Navigator 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 Let’s hope.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

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.

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.

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."
