In other carjacking news....

The Sun Times interviewed a car jacker about why he robs people of their cars. :

Question. Why do you think there’s been a spike in carjackings in Chicago?

Answer. Mainly, most of it is [because people are stealing cars to use in] drive-bys or joyriding, No. 1 being drive-bys — whether they want to do drive-by shootings or whether they want to do kidnappings, hold somebody for ransom or just do simple robberies.

[He says young carjackers like to joyride and do drive-by shootings in stolen high-end Jeep Cherokee models like SRTs and Trackhawks, Dodge Challengers and Chargers with super-charged Hellcat engines, and Porsches and Mercedes-Benzes. He says the nickname in the carjacking world for those types of vehicles is “The fast s---.” But, the man also notes that carjackers are increasingly stealing vehicles for their parts, like catalytic converters and their motors, which they sell on the black market.]

Q. Why would you want a Charger for a drive-by shooting when someone could say, “There’s an orange car with a black stripe on it” and identify that car in the shooting? I would think you’d want to steal a Camry or some, you know, less flashy car?

A. In people’s minds, they might take a “bright one” because if it’s on the news or anywhere in the social media they can brag and say that was them or that was somebody in their clique.

Q. I drive a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Should I be worried? Should I have my head on a swivel? Or does it depend on what particular model I got?

A. Well, if it’s not an SRT or it doesn’t look like an SRT, they don’t want that Jeep.***

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – A section of the Union Pacific train tracks in downtown Los Angeles has been littered with thousands of shredded boxes, packages stolen from cargo containers that stop in the area to unload.

Thieves have been raiding the cargo containers, taking packages that belong to people from all over the country from retailers like Amazon, REI and others.

The refuse left behind, like home COVID test kits, are items that the robbers did not want or did not think were valuable enough to take.

Sources told CBSLA that the locks Union Pacific uses are easy to cut, and officials with the Los Angeles Police Department said they don’t respond to reports of a train robbery unless Union Pacific asks them for help, which they said is rare.*** https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2022/01/13/thieves-raiding-cargo-containers-stealing-packages-on-downtown-section-of-union-pacific-train-tracks/

Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on charges of perjury and filing false mortgage applications.

The top prosecutor, who is accused of falsely claiming financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic, faces two counts of perjury, two counts of making a false statement, and two counts of making false mortgage applications related to the purchases of two vacation homes in Florida, the Department of Justice said.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/baltimore-city-states-attorney-marilyn-mosby-federally-indicted

A Minneapolis man who attempted to run over a firefighter with his vehicle was released from custody Monday with zero bail required by Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu.

According to a criminal complaint, 52-year-old Shawn Coates was following a woman in his pickup truck when she approached a Minneapolis fire station for help. One of the firefighters on duty directed the woman to “go into the fire station for safety” and told Coates to “move on.”

Coates didn’t take this well. He called the firefighter a “motherf–,” began spinning his tires, and eventually tried to run over the firefighter with his truck.

“Defendant actually turned the vehicle to Victim’s direction and drove his vehicle into the fire station garage doors. Victim had to move out of the way and step behind a garage door pillar to not be hit. Firefighters had to use an axe and other tools to disable the vehicle to stop Defendant from driving,” the criminal complaint says.*** https://alphanews.org/man-who-tried-to-run-over-firefighter-released-on-zero-bail-by-judge-chu/

A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment yesterday, which was unsealed today, charging 11 defendants with seditious conspiracy and other charges for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, which disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress that was in the process of ascertaining and counting the electoral votes related to the presidential election.

According to court documents, Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, 56, of Granbury, Texas, who is the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers; and Edward Vallejo, 63, of Phoenix, Arizona, are being charged for the first time in connection with events leading up to and including Jan. 6. Rhodes was arrested this morning in Little Elm, Texas, and Vallejo was arrested this morning in Phoenix.

In addition to Rhodes and Vallejo, those named in the indictment include nine previously charged defendants: Thomas Caldwell, 67, of Berryville, Virginia; Joseph Hackett, 51, of Sarasota, Florida; Kenneth Harrelson, 41, of Titusville, Florida; Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Alabama; Kelly Meggs, 52, of Dunnellon, Florida; Roberto Minuta, 37, of Prosper, Texas; David Moerschel, 44, of Punta Gorda, Florida; Brian Ulrich, 44, of Guyton, Georgia and Jessica Watkins, 39, of Woodstock, Ohio. In addition to the earlier charges filed against them, they now face additional counts for seditious conspiracy and other offenses.*** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leader-oath-keepers-and-10-other-individuals-indicted-federal-court-seditious-conspiracy-and

Steven Michael Braithwaite, Adam Thomas Braithwaite and their company Nebraska Railcar Cleaning Services LLC (NRCS) were sentenced [14jan22] in Omaha, Nebraska, for willful violations of worker safety standards that resulted in two worker deaths, knowing violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) involving hazardous waste and knowing endangerment to others, knowing submission of false documents to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and perjury. Steven Braithwaite will serve 30 months in prison and pay $100,000 in restitution for his role in the offenses. Adam Braithwaite will serve one year and one day in prison and pay $100,000 in restitution. In addition, NRCS and the individual defendants must serve five years of probation and pay a $21,000 fine.

According to court documents, on April 14, 2015, NRCS workers were inside and on top of a rail tanker car, removing petroleum residue from inside the tank, when flammable gases in the tanker car ignited and exploded. Two workers died and another was injured in the blast. NRCS took the job after receiving an inquiry from one of its customers in January 2015. The inquiry included a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the product in the railcar, describing it as “natural gasoline” with a “severe” class four flammability rating (the highest rating). The SDS went on to indicate that the natural gasoline would ignite at zero degrees Fahrenheit and that it contained benzene, a “cancer hazard.”

Despite no test for benzene and an unacceptably high explosive gas level test at the beginning of the job, NRCS sent two of its employees into the tanker car. The employees began removing the toxic, ignitable residue, with a third employee helping from outside. The third employee pulled bucket loads of waste up through the top hatch and dumped them into a regular dumpster to be taken to a municipal landfill, even though the residue was hazardous waste. Approximately one hour after the cleaning began, a spark caused the deadly explosion.

Steven Braithwaite was the president and majority owner of NRCS and was responsible for all phases of the business, including both environmental and worker safety issues. Adam Braithwaite was the vice president and a minority owner of NRCS. He too handled both environmental and worker safety issues.

As the defendants admitted in their plea agreements, prior to the explosion, OSHA officials conducted regulatory inspections of NRCS, and cited NRCS and its principals for violating OSHA safety regulations concerning confined space entries. Rail tanker cars are “confined spaces” under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Confined spaces are dangerous because they may be filled with toxic, explosive, or unbreathable gases, among other reasons. After an inspection of NRCS, Steven Braithwaite entered into a Feb. 5, 2015, written agreement in which he represented that NRCS had been testing for benzene since July 2014. That was a lie. OSHA returned to NRCS in March 2015 to conduct a follow-up inspection, but Steven Braithwaite turned away the inspectors. Afterwards, Adam Braithwaite submitted falsified documents to OSHA purporting to show that NRCS had been purchasing equipment to test the contents of railcars for benzene and had taken other required safety precautions. NRCS had not been taking those steps. Adam Braithwaite also falsely testified under oath in an OSHA hearing that NRCS had been purchasing the benzene testing equipment.

Although they knew what was required, the defendants failed to implement worker safety standards, mishandled hazardous wastes violating the RCRA and knowingly submitted false documents to OSHA during inspections as a cover up. Their decisions led to the deaths of two of their workers. On July 12, Steven Braithwaite pleaded guilty to counts 2-4 of the indictment. Adam Braithwaite pleaded guilty to counts 2-3, 8-9 and 22. NRCS pleaded guilty to counts 1-21.*** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/omaha-railcar-cleaning-company-and-its-owners-sentenced-violating-environmental-and-worker

An oft-arrested homeless man silently shoved an unsuspecting stranger to her death beneath a Times Square subway train Saturday morning, then quickly confessed to the heinous attack, authorities said.

Michelle Alyssa Go was randomly targeted about 9:30 a.m. by Simon Martial, 61, as she waited for the R train in the Times Square-42nd St. station, a high-ranking police source said.

There was no indication that the pair spoke or had any interaction before the deadly attack, said police. Go, a 40-year-old Asian woman who lived on the Upper West Side, was pronounced dead at the scene, cops said.

“I pushed a woman in front of a train,” the deranged suspect told police after surrendering without incident, according to a second source. The suspect has a documented history of mental health issues with the NYPD, the second police source added, and there was no indication that the killing was a hate crime. *** https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-woman-dead-shoved-subway-tracks-times-square-20220115-hh3g2hfvcjftvn6mwpmy2n2qam-story.html

Beth Israel hostages

COLLEYVILLE, Texas — After a nearly 12-hour hostage negotiation, authorities confirm all four hostages at the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas are alive and safe.

Law enforcement agencies responded to the situation shortly before 11 a.m. on Saturday. Around 9:33 p.m., Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Colleyville police tweeted that all hostages were "out alive and safe."

During a news conference late Saturday, Colleyville police and the FBI confirmed the suspect was dead.

SWAT officers with the Colleyville Police Department, as well as officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety and FBI, initially responded at 10:40 a.m. to the scene in the 6100 block of Pleasant Run Road near Tinker Road and State Highway 121.*** https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/hostage-synagogue-colleyville-texas-congregation-beth-israel-situation/287-38eb82cd-993c-486a-996f-7e5e278190bd

*** The hostage-taker demanded the release of Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui, who was convicted in Manhattan Federal Court in 2010 of trying to kill US authorities in Afghanistan, and claimed to be her brother.***

Siddiqui is currently serving an 86-year prison sentence at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, in nearby Fort Worth, according to public records. The feds claimed the MIT-trained Aafia Siddiqui was an al Qaeda associate when she was arrested in 2008 carrying handwritten plans for a radioactive “dirty bomb,” along with a list of New York landmarks.

A rep for Muhammad Siddiqui, the terrorist’s brother, said he has nothing to do with the incident. A lawyer who once represented him confirmed her client was not the person holding hostages in Texas.*** https://nypost.com/2022/01/15/rabbi-congregants-held-hostage-at-colleyville-texas-synagogue/

*** During court proceedings in January 2010, Siddiqui stated that Jews should be excluded from her jury pool. "If they have a Zionist or Israeli background…they are all mad at me," Siddiqui said. "I have a feeling everyone here is them – subject to genetic testing… They should be excluded." Siddiqui's trial is the latest terror-related trial marked by claims of Israeli control.*** https://www.adl.org/blog/pakistani-woman-linked-to-al-qaeda-found-guilty-in-new-york

Bari Weiss is a liberal who resigned a good job at the New York Times. She writes:

***What I now see is this: In America captured by tribalism and dehumanization, in an America swept up by ideologies that pit us against one another in a zero-sum game, in an America enthralled with the poisonous idea that some groups matter more than others, not all Jews—and not all Jewish victims—are treated equally. What seems to matter most to media pundits and politicians is not the Jews themselves, but the identities of their attackers.

And it scares me.

The attack in Texas, the reaction to it, and the widespread willingness in our culture to judge violent acts based on their political utility, augurs a darkening reality for the six million Jews living in what the Founders insisted was a new Jerusalem. And for that new Jerusalem itself.***

In all fairness, it is commonly called a Sawzall

*** New Orleans police officers who were searching for a missing woman found a chopped up body in a freezer, a reciprocating saw covered in “bits of flesh” and her wallet in a safe on the property, according to court documents.

Micah Dardar reported his estranged wife Julia Dardar, 36, missing just before midnight on Dec. 23, 2021, according to New Orleans police.

Micah Dardar told police his ex had moved in with Benjamin Beale, a 33-year-old alleged meth and pot dealer, at a house on Pauline Street.***

Police served a search warrant at Beale’s home on Jan. 11 and saw extension cords running out the back door and into a Chevrolet Diesel 60 bus parked in the yard, according to the criminal complaint – and inside they found a freezer and ice box.

In the freezer, investigators discovered “the headless torso of what appeared to be an adult human female,” court documents state.

She’d suffered deep cuts that “appeared to have been inflicted post-mortem.”

In a nearby Coleman ice chest, police said they found a reciprocating saw “which appeared to have bits of flesh and fluid on the blade.” Nearby they found goggles, a plastic face shield and garbage bags.

Police also found an alleged meth lab and illegal weapons, court documents reveal, and they backed out of the house and called in assistance from state police in order to deal with the potentially hazardous materials present.

The crystals found in the home later tested positive for methamphetamine, according to an affidavit.

In a safe in one of the bedrooms, detectives said they found Julia Dardar’s purse, wallet, identification and credit cards. Police also said they found at least two unlawful firearms.*** https://nypost.com/2022/01/14/new-orleans-police-find-womans-body-chopped-up-in-dexter-mans-freezer/

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A nurse who was left in critical condition after being assaulted at a bus stop in downtown Los Angeles has died, officials announced Sunday. The woman, identified as LAC+USC Medical Center nurse Sandra Shells, was attacked Thursday morning at the bus stop located near the corner of Cesar E Chavez Avenue and Vignes Street.***

The suspect, later identified as Kerry Bell, had struck 70-year-old Shells in the face "without provocation and for no reason," causing her to fall to the ground and sustain fractured skull, police said.

A short time after the assault, he was found sleeping near the site of the incident and was taken into custody. Authorities described him as a transient, with one prior arrest in L.A. and multiple others in other states.*** https://abc7.com/nurse-assault-bus-stop-downtown-la/11477354/

LOS ANGELES - A woman was stabbed to death inside the furniture store where she works at in Hancock Park in what authorities are calling a "random" attack.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call in the 300 block of North La Brea Avenue around 2 p.m. According to LAPD, the woman – later identified as 24-year-old Brianna Kupfer – was alone inside the store when a man entered the business and attacked her.***

On Friday, the LAPD said that detectives determined the suspect and the victim did not know each other, adding that the suspect was a "random walk in to the store."

The suspect attacked the victim with a knife and fled the scene through the back door. About 20 minutes later, a customer came in and found her on the floor.

"There is no known motive at this time," the LAPD wrote.***

"Based on evidence discovered by detectives, the suspect is believed to be homeless."

The suspect was seen on security video casually walking down the back alley of the businesses toward Oakwood Ave.

"The stuff that’s happening on Melrose, Fairfax, I don’t like it at all. I just want it to be the way how it used to be," said neighbor Bradley Feld.*** https://www.foxla.com/news/24-year-old-employee-stabbed-to-death-inside-hancock-park-store-in-random-attack

***Dr. Jennifer Botelho, who owns a chiropractic practice next to the business, told CBS that the suspect also entered her practice just moments before the fatal stabbing, detailing that “He came in and asked a couple of questions: ‘Do you do orthopedics here?’ What kind of care we provide and then he left. So he was just here for a few minutes.”*** https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2022/01/14/search-for-suspect-in-hancock-park-fatal-stabbing-still-ongoing/

A brother and sister from Ohio are accused of working together to chop down a century-old Black Walnut tree in Cleveland Metropark’s Mill Stream Run Reservation that was one of the largest in the state and worth an estimated $28,000, according to police and park officials.

Todd Jones, 56, of Bay Village, and Laurel Hoffman, 54, of Elyria, are charged with grand theft and falsification, both fourth-degree felonies. Their arraignments are set for Jan. 20 in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.

Jones and Hoffman, in separate phone interviews with cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer, said they believe the tree belonged to them. Jones owns property adjacent to the park and said his family for years believed the tree was inside their property lines. Jones and Hoffman both said they should not face any criminal charges.

“This is so ridiculous that they’re doing this,” Jones said. “This is insane. There was no ill intent.”

Black Walnut trees are highly sought after because of the high-quality lumber they produce.*** https://www.mlive.com/news/2022/01/brother-and-sister-charged-in-theft-of-28k-black-walnut-tree-one-of-ohios-largest.html

George Nader, a key witness in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and a convicted child sex predator, quietly pleaded guilty last year to involvement in an illegal campaign finance scheme funneling millions of dollars from the United Arab Emirates into Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Nader, a Lebanese American lobbyist, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in June 2020 after pleading guilty to bringing an underage teenage boy to the United States for sex and possessing child pornography. What was not publicly known until recently was that he also pleaded guilty to an illegal foreign donation scheme.

The Department of Justice revealed in a December sentencing memo that Nader had pleaded guilty to a single count on July 22, 2020. The court filing says Nader and Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, a Los Angeles-based chief executive of Allied Wallet, “orchestrated a scheme to funnel over $3.5 million in foreign funds into the 2016 presidential election.”*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/mueller-witness-pleads-guilty-in-illegal-scheme-to-funnel-uae-money-to-hillary-clintons-2016-campaign

Jeep Grand Wagoneer

Jeep is well known for its off road vehicles. Jeep is not considered one of the "luxury brand names" when it comes to cars. Jeep is also known for its somewhat cheap vehicles. Hence, keeping it and maintaining it one would say it is quite easy. Jeep in the past has been coming out with more higher class cars such as the Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wranglers. Jeep has also dove into the truck category with its new Jeep Gladiator but now it has taken a dive into the Luxury SUV vehicle known as the "Grand Wagoner".

How is Jeep's new car going to affect the Luxury SUV market? With top names such as Lincoln, Cadillac, and Land Rover being at the top I am curious to see how Jeep is going to try to reach the top of the mountain with this one. The new top model Grand Wagoneer SUV is topping out at a $111,000. There are going to be other models such as the Grand Wagoneer and the Wagoneer. Both are the same car type just one has to offer a better interior design. The Wagoneer is looking to start at $57,995 and the Grand Wagoneer is starting at $86,995.

The picture above shows the top four car models of 2020. With Jeep releasing the Wagoneers later this year I am curious to see how the competition will respond. I am also curious to see how Jeep's current customers will respond. Like I stated earlier Jeep is not known for the "Luxury brand". But I believe this is going to be a hit and I believe they are going to sell out. Being a Brand new model car and with Jeep having past successful sellouts this is going to be one more added to the list. Jeep will also be stepping into the luxury category. Which is going to attract a new market, with that being said one who tends to have these types of cars are loyal to these brands and have been with the same brand for awhile. Trying to attract loyal customers to other brands I feel is going to be hard for jeep because those brands are already established in that Luxury SUV market. On the other hand, Jeep also has loyal customers and with Jeep having a new model I feel Jeep customers are smiling from ear to ear when they see the new Jeep Wagoneer later in 2021.

2021 Toyota 4Runner Review

Japanese creator build some demands in community motor vehicle network, as well as its 2021 Toyota 4Runner is amid each one of these practices which modify the limitations. This the center of-sizes SUV was designed in 1984, also, since, Toyota subjected 5 numerous years of essentially-liked off all-roadster. Yet, might appear to be 2021 design 12 periods will increase the quantity of its quite a few years, contemplating we provide a redesign for your personal forthcoming 4Runner and the start of your 6th period of time.

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR

In past times years of Toyota’s 4Runner made it through about 6 a few years, in general, as well as the give gen aware of inescapable fact lengthened forecasted the actual individual particular date and survived for seven appropriate very many years. New 2021 MY presents some really serious changes in the sort of this SUV. Firstly, the base might appear to be Toyota has not yet however nevertheless abandoned on 4Runner’s body-on-structure design, aiding so it will be particular and a much more variable away from plus for the roadway.

On the other hand, an out-of-some specific day exterior is going to be revamped and revitalized, so we can foresee 2021 Toyota 4Runner to provide some thrilling changes. Top rated barbeque grill as well as rounded best rated fascia together with the crossover will most likely be remodeled. It is in reality popular nose neighborhood may possibly appropriately be a touch more comfy when its leading lights acquire a redesign and progression.

In just 2021 Toyota 4Runner, we might predict some extensive modifications at the same time. Pondering 2015 release season, Toyota began to provide you with generally of 4 trims, which include SR5, Trail, TRD Pro and Microscopic sums. TRD Pro variance is generated up of merchandise that can bring up matching performances and performance using this type of SUV.

ENGINE AND SPECS

The powertrain of the specific 2021 Toyota 4Runner will probably be a roll-above by critiquing the forerunner. This can be a 4.-liter V-6 engine method which makes use of development of 271 hp and definately will show up built in implementing 5-total amount electric transmission. Drivetrain depends upon ripped, so on some trims (SR5 and Constrained) prospective buyers can decide anywhere between rear-stop- and five-wheel touch, some are demonstrated with AWD mainly (Trail and TRD Pro). It appropriate switching capability is graded at 4,700 excess weight. Fuel economy of practices simply by using a backside complete-wheel thrust is put at 17 mpg city, although 4×4 kinds profited fairly very same distance out of the city journey (17 miles per gallon) even so a mile far less for the path and internal (21 and 18 mpg).

Toyota may very well attempt to raise the production in your 2021 4Runner whereby incorporate various other choices. Until recently, there are no correct choices which may affirm it. Having said that, testimonials advise that buying near the version will most likely be proposed to have a the very least an additional engine option. Available powertrains, which can be commonly referred to, incorporate most likely diesel engine (that is most likely to take place) or elevated ultra powerful V8 engine, that will give you much more doable. Even so the specific particulars with regards to what appropriately we could quickly undoubtedly foresee continuing to remain unavailable, having said that, retain remaining tuned, wondering about we will tell you about all most provide you with records from Toyota.

PRICE AND Unveiling

The trouble this away from-roader bundle which does not have most its competitors are, the simple truth is, an about three-row child car seats. Jeep Grand Cherokee utilizes aspect de resistances, nonetheless a good price far less area when compared to the 4Runner.

Dodge Durango and Toyota Highlander are definitely the dearest competitors in the 4Runner, over the consideration that they in addition provide your city for seven visitors. The introduction of the 2021 Toyota 4Runner will never be estimated prior to afterwards in 2019 when its revenues time is probably not expected previously at the outset of 2021. Regardless of the reality that Toyota has not yet nevertheless unveiled any specs for that product, the regular price within the nearing alternative will in all probability be just a little additional remarkable, and may also get set about almost completely all-around $34,000.

Yet, may seem like 2021 design 12 times will generate the quantity of its a number of years, pondering we supply a redesign on your forthcoming 4Runner and the starting of your sixth period of time.

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR

In earlier times decades of Toyota’s 4Runner made it through about 6 many years, in most cases, and the supply gen comfortable with simple fact lengthened forecasted the particular meeting and made it through for 7 suitable many years.

In the first place, the base might appear to be Toyota has not yet but nevertheless deserted on 4Runner’s body-on-framework design, aiding to really make it different and a doubly adaptable off from and even at the roadway.

Alternatively, an out-of-several morning exterior is likely to be revamped and revitalized, and that we can predict 2021 Toyota 4Runner for making some inspiring changes.

2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review: Luxurious, Solid on Any Road Surface

2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit February 2020 Lime Kiln Road, Adirondacks

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is almost a decade old, and yet it’s currently the best-selling midsize SUV on the market: 242,969 sold last year, 200,000-plus most for much of the past two decades. The current body design has been around since 2011, there are 13 trim lines (model variants), multiple drivetrains, and varying levels of driver assistance technology.

Both despite its age and because of it – when the factory builds the same car year after year, reliability tends to improve – the Grand Cherokee has good fit and finish, a nicely controlled ride, a very nice interior on most trims, comfortable seats, and a solid infotainment system. Other than standard blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert, driver-assist features are optional. The two rows of seats are both roomy, but no third-row seat is offered.

If one owner says their Grand Cherokee does fine off-road but the interior looks just okay and the center stack display is small, a second owner says it’s pretty luxe and the display is nice, and a third says the cockpit looks great and did you know it goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, that’s because, with those trim lines, there’s one that costs $33,000, a couple that run around $50,000-$60,000, and one that runs $88,000 with a 707-hp engine. (No, that’s not a typo.) You decide how much off-road capability, acceleration, and rear-seat entertainment you want, and you pay accordingly.

On the Road

I test drove the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. It is the premier Grand Cherokee for people who don’t feel the need to have a strong Dodge Viper flavor to their SUV, in which case there’s the performance-oriented Grand Cherokee V8 SRT and the high-performance Trackhawk. My test car totaled $62,775 with a four-wheel-drive system – not just all-wheel-drive – that added $3,000, a V8 engine that added $3,795, an eight-speed automatic, telematics, onboard Wi-Fi, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an AC socket and plenty of USB jacks, and a $1,995 rear entertainment system. At this point, you’re pushing into Audi-BMW-Mercedes territory.

My time in the Grand Cherokee Summit included a late-winter run into the New York State Adirondacks area around Lake Placid. A detour through hilly, rutted dirt roads covered with about eight inches of snow proved no problem at all.

The ride up and back into the northwoods, on interstate highways, was pleasurable, with a comfortable driving position, decent audio, and very little road noise. The Grand Cherokee Summit is plenty comfortable for four adults and a weekend’s worth of luggage. Even with cupholders front and back and bins in the doors, in-cabin storage for little items was lacking.

Good Navi, but Audio Could Be Better

The UConnect 4 infotainment system on my car was quite easy to use. But note that not all Grand Cherokees get UConnect 4 and 8-inch center stack screens. For years, Chrysler-Dodge-Ram products have had very good navigation and infotainment. It doesn’t hurt that when you press the NAV button, the screen asks you, “Where to?” The only people who don’t get that are grade-school teachers looking for a verb and a complete sentence.

This was the first Harman Kardon premium audio system I’ve driven that wasn’t breathtaking. It had 19 speakers and the issue – to me – was the woofer in the driver’s kick panel area. It was so heavily boosted that with the volume up and listening to my workout playlist (you know: the songs you’re too embarrassed to share), the sound pressure made my pant legs flap. So much so it felt like a Rockford Fosgate system, a brand happy to be known for heavy – sorry, deep – bass. It was much improved by turning the bass setting below the midpoint.

Not Enough Driver Assists

The advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are not all state-of-the-art and too many are extra-cost. Nothing wrong with blind-spot detection (standard) or lane keep assist (included on some trim lines). The optional ParkSense backup system auto-stops the car if you get too close to a stopped object. That’s all good. Adaptive cruise control goes down to zero but you have to manually resume forward travel, and if you’re stopped more than three seconds, ACC disengages.

Forward collision warning, a technology that requires a low-cost front-facing camera, is optional. Of the 18 midsize, two-row SUVs on the market, the only non-Jeep product lacking FCW is the revived Chevrolet Blazer, which, despite its heritage, is not a hard-core off-roader. Automatic emergency braking for highway and for city situations are also optional, and pedestrian AEB is not offered.

My Grand Cherokee Summit 4X4 was rated at 14 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 17 mpg overall. I averaged 20 mpg in a week of primarily highway driving.

So Many Models to Choose From

The 2020 Grand Cherokee comes in a dazzling array of trim lines, or model variants. Currently, there are 13. These prices include $1,495 shipping.

Laredo, $33,735 rear drive / $35,735 four-wheel drive Laredo E, $35,390 / $37,390 Upland, $37,685 / $39,685 Altitude, $39,830 / $41,830 North Edition, $40,285 4WD standard Limited, $41,545 / $43,545 Limited X, $46,640 / $48,640 Trailhawk $46,645 4WD standard Overland, $47,985 / $50,985 High Altitude, $50,730 / $53,730 Summit, $54,085 / $57,085 SRT, $70,085 4WD standard Trackhawk, $88,590 4WD standard

It’s hard to describe each model other than to note the Laredo E is a nicer Laredo, not a hybrid; North Edition and Trailhawk target wintry off-roading and off-roading; and SRT and Trackhawk are high-performance SUVs that also go off-road and tow boats.

Should You Buy?

The Grand Cherokee is the best of the seven Jeep models you can buy in terms of modern-day amenities and reliability without sacrificing heavy snow / off-road driving. It’s also the best-selling, with 26 percent of Jeep’s 923,2981 2019 sales. By our count, there are nearly 25 midsize, mainstream-price SUVs, and almost as many premium midsize SUVs. The top sellers, mainstream or premium, are:

SUV 2019 Sales Change Jeep Grand Cherokee 242,969 +8% Toyota Highlander 239,437 -2% Jeep Wrangler 228,042 -5% Ford Explorer 187,061 -28% Subaru Outback 181,178 +1%

(Note: The big falloff for the Ford Explorer came in the wake of quality-control problems while getting the sixth-generation Explorer and the sibling Lincoln Aviator into production at Ford’s Chicago assembly plant.)

The Jeep Cherokee is not an entry edition of the Grand Cherokee but a separate model eight inches shorter than Grand Cherokee’s 190 inches, with a base four-cylinder engine and not quite as refined.

The Grand Cherokee is your best choice among midsize SUVs if you want an one that goes off-road, not just negotiate a lightly plowed gravel road near the ski slope, and does it with a reasonable amount of passenger comfort. As a bonus, some Grand Cherokees can tow up to 7,200 pounds; the rest tow at least 3,500 pounds. If you have little kids (two), the dual rear entertainment system may be worth the healthy price. The V6 engines are good and the V8s are better but gas mileage suffers.

The mainstream trim lines fare well against the Chevrolet Blazer and Ford Edge. The roomier, longer, three-row Ford Explorer is also a competitor for those who value towing capacity. The Toyota 4Runner is very good off-road but not as smooth otherwise. If you want a competent all-around vehicle, look also at the Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Hyundai Santa Fe. The Dodge Durango is a cousin to the Grand Cherokee, is longer, and has three rows of seats, but isn’t as skilled off-roading.

The Grand Cherokee upper trim lines compete nicely against premium brands. But it’s hard to match the NVH and highway manners of say, a BMW X5, when you go into battle in a design released the same year Ke$ha debuted We R Who We R.

Other top midsize SUVs don’t map to Grand Cherokee’s off-roader ethic. The Lexus RX is all-around excellent but is not what you want going off-road or hauling a trailer. The Mazda CX-9 is the sportiest and most fun to drive, but without the cargo capacity.

Jeep’s other sales advantage is that Grand Cherokee buyers are predisposed toward USA vehicles. According to JD Power research, 76 percent of Grand Cherokee owners say they prefer buying from a domestic company versus 58 percent for the midsize SUV segment as a whole. That means Grand Cherokee owners may not cross-shop the sporty Korean-flagged Kia Telluride (three rows but still midsize), even it’s built in Alabama, and the similar Hyundai Palisade. The Grand Cherokee would win on off-road driving. But in other areas, Kia and Hyundai are extremely competitive, particularly NVH and driver assists.

A new Grand Cherokee should be introduced this year as a 2021 model. Given how well Jeep has done to keep the fourth-generation model competitive, the new model should be impressive.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Specs, Changes, Redesign, and Price. Judging by the spy photos, the next generation of the Jeep’s three-row crossover SUV is on its way. We are talking about the upcoming 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This model should make its world premiere next year, at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The Fiat Chrysler car maker has finally given the much-needed redesign of the Grand Cherokee. The spy shots of this popular SUV show the new exterior styling. Precisely, the upcoming Jeep will look more conventional. The changes will include new headlamps, revised grille and some minor adjustments on the rear fascia. Inside, the Grand Cherokee is expected to remain pretty much unchanged. Under the hood, the Jeep should continue with the same engines as the current model which means that there will be several units available. The technology as well should be the same as in its forerunner.

Its main rivals will be Volkswagen Touareg, Land Rover Discovery. Ford Explorer and Toyota Forerunner.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee engines and performances

The new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee will be powered with several types of engines under its hood. Those will be the same units used by the outgoing model. The base engine will be a 3.6-liter V-6 with the output of 295 horsepower. The next will be a 5.7-liter V-8 unit which will be able to generate 360 horsepower. There will also be a 3.0-liter V-6 turbo diesel engine which will produce the torque of 420 pound-feet. The most powerful version will be a 6.4-liter V-8 drivetrain which will be capable of making 475 horses. All the engines will pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It will be available with rear-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk will use the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine which will develop 707 hp and the torque of 645 pound-feet.

Design of exterior and interior

When it comes to exterior, the upcoming 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee will keep its recognizable look but it will feature more conventional appearance. For the 2021 model year, we can expect a redesign of the whole body, especially the front fascia. On the front, we will notice revised extended grille and new headlamps with LED daytime running lights. The front bumper will also be new. On the rear, there will be slightly restyled taillights.

Speaking of the interior design, the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee will most likely be the same as the current model. The cabin is very spacious and comfortable offering three rows of seats. Generally, the Grand Cherokee’s interior looks sophisticated and luxurious with quality materials including leather and soft plastics. The dashboard features an 8.4-inch touchscreen with infotainment system and a 7-inch digital cluster display. As for the equipment, some of the features will include navigation, Bluetooth, audio system, Uconnect voice command and so on.

Release date and price

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee should be presented to the world sometime in the beginning of 2020. As for the pricing, there is still no any information. We assume that it should be slightly higher than the price of its predecessor.

Chrysler’s Complicated Parentage: Who Owns It Now?

The Chrysler brand has used many of its nine lives to date, but the longtime American brand, which has had many adopted and foreign parents, is still alive. For now.

The Chrysler brand is currently part of FCA US, which is owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. FCA is a dual-headquartered company with the Fiat side of the business based in Turin, Italy, and the former Chrysler Corp. operations based in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Chrysler dates back to 1925, founded by Walter Chrysler, and it is still referred to as part of the Big Three or Detroit Three, referring to General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.

Chrysler has teetered many times on the edge of a financial cliff. It was on the verge of bankruptcy in the late 1970s and was saved by government loan guarantees worth $1.5 billion that bought time until the release of a surprising savior in secret development: the minivan.

In 1998, in a deal worth $36 billion, Chrysler was acquired by Daimler-Benz of Germany, and the so-called alliance or “merger of equals” was named DaimlerChrysler. It was not a good fit, as the two cultures never really merged—though Daimler-sourced platforms helped make vehicles like the Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger and Challenger, and Jeep Grand Cherokee much better than their predecessors—and Daimler sold Chrysler in 2007 to Cerberus, a private equity firm in the U.S., for just $7.4 billion.

The financial crisis in 2008 proved devastating for Detroit automakers. Chrysler laid off thousands of white-collar workers, going so far as to unscrew lightbulbs in their empty offices and stopped plowing snow off the top deck of unused parking garages to save money.

Plant closures, shift eliminations, and model line rationalizations were all planned with the loss of thousands more blue-collar workers. Work on future products was mostly curtailed. The few remaining resources were diverted to development of the next-generation Chrysler 300 full-size sedan and the new Jeep Cherokee.

On April 30, 2009, Chrysler filed for bankruptcy. General Motors filed for bankruptcy June 1, and while the government deemed GM too big to fail and had a reorganization plan for the company to exit bankruptcy, government officials were divided as to whether to use government money to save the smaller Chrysler.

In the end, government loans totaling more than $10 billion were provided, and when Chrysler exited bankruptcy, it had a patchwork of owners including the U.S. and Canadian governments, the United Auto Workers pension fund, and Fiat S.p.A. which agreed to supply some of its powertrains and other tech, and also share its CEO, Sergio Marchionne.

In the subsequent years, Fiat gradually acquired shares from the other stakeholders while paying down the government loans. By 2014, Fiat had acquired 100% of Chrysler, which became a full subsidiary of the Italian automaker. A new entity, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, was formed. The Chrysler subsidiary was renamed FCA US. Marchionne remained CEO of the cross-Atlantic empire with a long list of automotive brands, including Chrysler.

Ironically, Chrysler was not considered one of FCA’s core brands and did not get the same level of attention or resources as Jeep or Ram. Once a full-line car brand, Chrysler is now represented by just two models: The aging 300C, whose platform was designed more than a quarter-century ago, and the Pacifica minivan.

The future of the Chrysler brand remains uncertain with yet another parenting change in the works. In December 2019, FCA signed a memorandum of understanding with PSA (to which Chrysler Corporation offloaded its unprofitable European operations in 1979) for the two automakers to merge, with a tentative timetable of late 2020 or mid-2021 for the deal to close.

The still-to-be-named automaker will be the fourth largest in the world, and the expectation is some brands will go away. Chrysler could be one of them.

Such a relocate would seem logical, considering these models feature related sizing. This platform characteristics an RWD format, which is yet another excellent benefit. Of course, AWD will be offered as effectively. The new structure is very modular, and then we never consider this could be excessive tough.

Eventually, if the brand-new 2020 Grand Cherokee includes Stelvio’s platform, we need to see a substantial-efficient 2.-liter turbocompresseur inline-4 as effectively. This engine can be best for about 280 horsepower and 306 pound-ft of torque. With the other part, the 2.9-liter V6 coming from Ferrari doesn’t appear so probable.
