Daimler does not own Chrysler anymore.

Didn't know that, found a C&D article here: 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - Feature - Car Reviews - Car and Driver

My wife and I are recent converts, but we love it so far. We found a deal on an 08 silver w/ low miles. It has the 530hp Hennessey package on it (I didn't pay for it!!) and it hauls ***. It's basically headers, catback, tune and intake, plus there were add-ons for more $$$$.

Anyway, we've been looking for a while and absolutely love it. We still have my TBSS, and I've got to say the Jeep is nicer and feels more solid.
