My wife had an '08 JGC Limited. It was a nice vehicle but the 4.7 V8 was driving me nuts with it lack of power (especially at 6000' where we live) and the heaviness of the WK. We almost pulled the trigger on a 2012 JGC Overland about six months ago. We test drove one with the 3.6 and it was bit underpowered for our liking (higher-altitude driving) and the 5.7.

My wife wanted to look at Durangos as well, so we visited the Dodge dealership across the street. We looked a few, but across the row from the Durangos were the Chargers and Challengers. My wife has been wanting a muscle-car type of a vehicle for a long time. The Challenger would have been awesome, but it would have been hard to use as "family vehicle" being two a two door. We ended up buying the Charger R/T Max AWD model (Red with Rocket Red seats). They had a wicked SRT-8 model, but the SRTs don't come with AWD.

I will say that I was very impressed with the build quality and the suspension features of the WK2. I'm also impressed with the build quality of the newer Chargers/LX as well and all the doo-dads that come with it. The technology they pack in these days is impressive and makes my Crossfire feel like a Yugo in comparison. Don't get me wrong, I love my SRT-6. The going joke is that the Crossfire has two seats, a steering wheel, and a big OMG lever by the brake pedal.
