    Jalopnik Reviews: 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Part 3


    Why you should buy this car:
    Because you want an SUV that packs over 400 horsepower, runs a low 13-second quarter mile, handles like a slot car, and goes 0-60 in under five seconds. Because you like the idea of a vehicle assembled in Detroit, USA and Graz, Austria - next town over from Thal, where California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was born.

    Why you should not buy this car:
    Because you are one of the few people that actually uses the towing, hauling, or off-road capability of an SUV.
