Grand Cherokee upgraded

For those of you who like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, there have been some upgrades. According to NewCarNet, there have been changes both to the inside and outside. You can see one of the changes to the outside on this picture which shows the revised front end.

According to the article, the interior has new soft-touch materials and has been changed to include a new instrument cluster, new steering wheel, a new leather package on the doors and dashboard, and there is an optional touch-screen navigation system and integrated 20GB hard drive. As far as I am concerned, a touch-screen navigation system is no longer an option. That should be standard equipment. Of course I like toys like this. If you do too, check out some GPS systems available until they become standard equipment at HonestBargain.com, or HonestBargain Stores.

Now, back to the Grand Cherokee. On the outside, the headlamps have been redesigned, the grill has been replaced and a front air dam has been added to give the Grand Cherokee a more sporting look. New 17-inch wheels are included on the Limited version and new 18-inch wheels on the Overland.

For those of you who like off-roading, the Grand Cherokee features a Hill Descent Control system and Hill Start Assist for difficult road condition on steep slopes.

These sound like some good upgrades to my favorite Jeep. My Grand Cherokee is just approaching 100,000 miles, so I have a long time before I'll need to upgrade myself. In the meantime, I'll just have to drool about all those new features. And I'll continue to use my portable GPS, even though my wife likes to make fun of me every time I use it. Oh well, at least I'm not being made fun of for not stopping to ask for directions. I already have the directions.
