Jess, I'm on my 5th Jeep Grand Cherokee now so obviously I'm a fan. I use the Jeep for the crummy days in NY and the Crossfire for the nicest ones. You can't go wrong with any of them IMO but that new GC SRT8 is unbelievable but they aren't making them in any significant #'s. I love the Commander LTD but unless you need the 3rd row seating it’s the same car as the regular GC. To get such a large vehicle without the need seems a waste. I love the GC and for sheer comfort if I had to choose between my Crossfire and my GC it’s not even a choice, the GC is the better everyday all purpose car. But after 20 years in the military you need the Crossfire or a car like it for your head! Best of luck with your choice.
