Dont compare these two, first of all lets talk about quality of materials and workmanship of both cars no comparo. Interior in JGC looks rudiculous and I bet it feels as cheap as it looks, plus all those "small" issues with the brand realy scare me. On the bright site its affordable and damn fast with a good stoping power and skid pad #'s, maybe I should go to Jeep dealer tonight and try one out if they have it on the floor.

You think? What about a 545i or 550i stopping power? You think that jeep can outbrake the E60? I dunno why but i doubt it....
Do you have any data to compare?

I think you guys are missing the point.I would never trade my 545 for a SRT8.I would own both.The weather in my area is snow and ice in the winter.Not good for BMW's.My 545 sits in hte garage if any bad weather condiitons.That is when I drive my SUV,and also for hauling junk from the home building stores.I just want any car I own to perform very well.The RAV4 I just bought has every bit as much performance as the hemi I had.It just gets much better gas mileage.

As for the Jeep SRT thing, more power to those who owns it. How much does that thing cost? I guess if I want to stop shorter than 116 feet from 60-0 mph, I could install 14" drilled rotors and brembo calipars too, for what . . . $2K. Then I run a higher risk of getting rear ended.

Hi gman:
Well, I was sort of close on both counts. A Mazda is almost a Toyota.

Here ya go:
Quick little bugger...
With a forceful 269 horsepower (at 6,200 rpm) and 246 pound-feet of torque (at 4,700 rpm) on tap, this engine gives the RAV4 a decidedly aggressive personality. Coupled to a five-speed automatic and running through an electronic, "on-demand" four-wheel-drive system, our RAV4 scurried to 60 in just 7.1 seconds and was still going strong as it flashed through the quarter-mile in 15.2 seconds at 91.2 mph. This means it will lay waste to your snobbish friend's X3 3.0 by about a second in each category.
