We drive the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

We don't usually do pickups, but this one is too cool to resist.

With 465 horsepower from its 6.4-liter Hemi V-8, the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, which made its world debut recently at the 2011 New York Auto Show, is guaranteed to remain one of the fastest SUVs on the planet for some time to come. How fast? How ‘bout 0-60 in just 4.8 seconds and a...

The New York Auto Show seemed sort of an odd place to introduce the 2011 Jeep Wrangler Mojave, a vehicle that's named after the dusty Mojave Trail and Mojave Desert in California. The 2011 Jeep Wrangler Mojave starts as a Wrangler Sport but gets upgraded hardware plus some desert-themed cues. With...

Take a look at the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, and you might not need that testosterone injection. In addition to the stronger stance and racy details, it makes 465 horsepower from 6.4 liters and can get from zero to 60 in just 4.8 seconds, according to Jeep. Paddle-shifters are standard...

Ever since the new Jeep Grand Cherokee was in development, we've been looking forward to the new 6.4-liter HEMI Grand Cherokee SRT8, and finally, it's here. The muscle-bound powerhouse SUV packs the latest of Chrysler's V-8 bounty under the hood, and the best of the ill-gotten Daimler remnants...

The official launches have started pouring out, along with more announcements of what to expect are rolling in, which can only mean one thing: The 2011 New York Auto Show is about to get underway. Timed against the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show this year, some of the best concepts and production cars...

Each year, thousands of diehard off-road enthusiasts descend upon Moab, Utah for the Easter Jeep Safari and a week of fun on some of the country’s best and most rugged trails. And, every year, Jeep brings out a range of modified vehicles, typically built with the latest on offer from its...

Jeep has a long tradition of using Chrysler's Mopar aftermarket performance-parts to cobble together some modded-up Jeeps for the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari, which takes place in Utah later this month. This year is no exception, as Jeep will be bringing six models to Moab. The company has...

Just over a year ago there were reports suggesting Jeep was planning a new compact urban runabout based on the underpinnings of a Fiat model, most likely the Fiat Panda Cross pictured above. Those reports were then followed up by news that Fiat’s C-Evo platform, underpinning cars like the...

Last year we brought you some of the first word on rumors of the next Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Though it's running a full year behind where it was expected then, the latest rumors of the super-SUV are pointing toward a New York Auto Show debut and a fall 2011 on-sale date. Specs are as anyone...

The internet ain't what it used to be. Ten years ago, portals like Yahoo were all the rage, and auction sites were popping up faster than daytraders at an IPO. (Also: there were daytraders.) Today, portals are dead, social media is booming, and once-mighty giants like eBay are struggling to hang...

Earning the nickname of Grand Cherokee’s little brother, for good reason, the new 2011 Jeep Compass comes with new styling and several new standard features to better position itself in the fuel-efficient crossover segment. While the previous model looked downright frumpy, the new 2011 Jeep...

The Wagoneer name dates back to the 1960s and was used over the years on a line of SUVs from various marques, with many pundits describing the vehicles as some of the first upscale off-roaders. While most other automakers, including luxury SUV stalwart Land Rover, were building relatively...

While its bigger models will benefit from fuel saving eight-speed automatic transmissions, Chrysler’s smaller car portfolio will get a range of more advanced dual clutch transmissions that offer even better efficiency. Thanks to parent company Fiat and its own ‘C635’ six-speed dry...

Gary Collins' reign of terror continues! The former TV regular and human driving hazard -- better known to Southerners as Mr. Mary Ann Mobley -- is now wanted for hit-and-run in Jackson, Mississippi. According to a report in Jackson's Clarion-Ledger, Collins is accused of leaving the scene of an...

SEMA is known as the yearly outlet for most things automotive and extreme, but this year, Mopar is taking it over the top with 35 vehicles. Stars in the lineup include a 2011 RedLine Dodge Charger, a custom 2011 Dodge Durango, and a heavily modded 2010 Fiat 500 from Europe. The 2011 RedLine Dodge...

The Jeep name is deeply tied to the go-anywhere, barebones machines of World War II. Though the vehicles themselves have come a long way since then, the association with war--or at least war games--continues with the 2011 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops edition. Announced today, the vehicle...

Once upon a time, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 laid claim to being the fastest SUV on the planet, offering 0-60 times of under five seconds and a top speed in excess of 155 mph. Since then, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5 M and X6 M have nabbed the title away. Jeep doesn't look to be content...

We don't know for sure what caused Dr. Frank Ryan's 1995 Jeep Wrangler to hurtle off the Pacific Coast Highway and down a cliff on Monday afternoon. We do know, however, that he didn't survive the crash. We also know that he was tweeting moments earlier. That doesn't sound good. Thankfully, Ryan's...
