GW in Popular Mechanics

I just saw a nice article in the August 2010 issue of Popular Mechanics (or may have been Popular Science) which has a nice write-up on the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I will try to get a copy of this and post it.

Here's a copy of the article (the image quality is not very good, but it should be readable). The article is titled "Ultimate Driving Machines"

Decent article.

The only problem that I have is that everyone and their brother will see it and automatically think that their GW is worth the 15-25,000 that is mentioned in the article.

You have a good point there! On the flip side, maybe it could help for insurance/appraisal purposes.

Remember that price of $25,000 is coming from the same folks that think a bare bones bathroom for your home should cost about $50,000.
