Grand Cherokee's new features

I am one who always wants the newest, latest upgraded version of something. Unfortunately, new innovations are so frequent that it is too costly to keep up. So I just sit and drool for quite a while until I can justify the cost to upgrade.

I am the same way with my Jeeps. They are making a lot of new features available that I wish I had on my Grand Cherokee or Liberty. For example, the Jeep Grand Cherokee for 2008 now offers a "progressive and flexible Hill Descent Control for significantly improved vehicle control away from paved roads," according to Super Auto. Now, I don't do a lot of off-roading, but it sure sounds like a great feature to have. So I drool!

Another new feature is the Uphill Start Hill Start Assist which ensures a gentle and controlled start. That sounds great! So do all of these: ABS, brake assist, ESP, traction control and overturning avoidance system on board, an advanced passive safety system with multi-front airbags, curtain side airbags for both rows of seats, a transponder immobilizer and a tire pressure monitoring system.

And for my favorite must-have: 20-gigabyte hard disk audio system for integrated information, entertainment, and communication and - upon request - Navigation. This Radio-/Navigation system is the next generation with a 16.5 centimeter moving large TFT touch screen, and a USB port to upload pictures and music and an RCA jack for connection of MP3 players.

Drool, drool, drool. If only my current Grand Cherokee would wear out so I would be forced to upgrade. O well. Someday!
