So Jeep announced pricing for their Grand Wagoneer. $90-110K roughly. Is the market so desperate for vehicles that they will be a success or is the Escalade still the king of the hill when it come to the domestic brands? I think they have a pretty big mountain to climb. They certainly don't look the part as far as I'm concerned as some photos I've seen look downright homely. I guess time will tell if people are ready to drop $100K on a Jeep.....

I had a JEEP Ecodiesel Grand Cherokee. It was overall a good vehicle to me. Was interested in a 3 row GC or even the GW, but they kept pushing them out and pushing them out. Plus no more Diesels in the lineup... Wanted a 3 row and wanted a Diesel.. Yukon DMax Ultimate fit the bill for me. Liked the Esky, but the numbers started getting wild as I got what I wanted on it.... The Denali really fit the bill in every way, all the key things I wanted were on it too, and got out significantly cheaper... Happy!

When I look at the Grand Wagoneer, I think "Boy those engineers are some lazy bastards". It looks like they just borrowed a Yukon, copy and paste, modify headlights/taillights, and done...

The color pallets on the Series 3.. Just wow. Dark Green (called blue agave), Taupe, and Black. Exterior options.. Monotone Black or white? You have to get a 2 tone model to get more options there.

Price tag of 85-105k? Yea I think I am getting a Yukon Denali.

I was surprised to see an extra $1-2K for a tow package. Geez, that should be standard on any truck at that price. I'm not fond of the chrome around the windows. Just doesn't look upscale to me. A Kia Telluride is much better looking......

I personally think the Wagoneer is beautiful and the wife and I considered putting a deposit on one (reserve really) after previously owning a GC. We simply didn’t want to wait as we travel a lot to see family and friends since our move and needed space. Love our RST Duramax but would not shy away from a wagoneer in the future. The interior is top notch. With all that said I’m not particularly brand loyal and will see what the future holds. Right now I’m happy.

I would say the GW is ugly, we actually passed one in person (coulda been GC) and my wife and I both said ugly simultaneously. The new esky is beautiful, the sport in white is badass.

Unattractive exterior resembles a cross between the Infinity and the Lincoln large SUVs.
