Vehicle in camo looks very odd, but that interior looks spectacuar.

Interior is impressive, probably best in biz infotainment.

If these things were solid vehicles, i mean toyota lexus reliable, it would corner the market.

Under the hood of the all-new Grand Cherokee, it is expected that we will get our first look at the all-new GME-T6 inline-six cylinder turbocharged engine. Yes, an inline-six engine will be returning to the Grand Cherokee lineup for the first time since 2004. The new engine should have a little bit bigger displacement than 3.0-liters and will have many different variants throughout the FCA vehicle lineup for North America. We are told that both the 5.7-liter HEMI (with a possible eTorque version) and the third generation 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 will also make their appearance in the 2021 Grand Cherokee. Expect the all-new Grand Cherokee to come standard with a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission lineup, which will now be shifted via a rotary dial located on the center console.
a Trailhawk version of the all-new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee will get a new generation of air suspension, allowing the midsized Jeep to be able to rise and lower faster, for those quick transitions off-road
Front-row seats will feature seat frames from the Chrysler Pacifica, with just a tad bit more upper bolstering. These seats will give a lot more comfort than the current layout, and we are told it will also get an optional massage function for the front seats. Yes, massaging seats!

Turbo inline six option, faster air suspension, and massaging seats

2.0T, 3.6 V6, turbo I6, 5.7 V8, and 3.0 diesel appear to be the engine choices

While we don't know if the three-row version will carry the Grand Cherokee nameplate, it will share the basic exterior and interior design as the two-row version, but with a longer wheelbase
Maybe: Grand Cherokee L, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Commander..

Even without Toyota reliability, it still managed to corner a fair share of it. Don't forget, for a number of years, the JGC trailed only the Ford Explorer in SUV sales. And, later, several people here at CL owned them.

Both the Explorer and JGC, in the share of the market, were at their peak in the 1990s, before more mid-sized SUV competitors entered the race. I can remember, back then, when basically five vehicles dominated the non-pickup market......Accord/Camry/Taurus for the sedans, and Explorer/JGC for the SUVs. After 2010, though, the JGC (at least in my book) went from being a Ho-Hum but popular SUV to one that was superb...arguably best in class.

Imagine the numbers if it did though. Ford Explorer What, Toyota HIgh who. The current GC is beastly, heck even Mercedes used the same platform for their ML at one point. With the rumors pointing at the use of FI motors, I assume Fiat will be playing a more integral role in engine design, and they are known for their reliability.....

The did corner the market at one point. The Jeep Grand Cherokee at its peak crossed 300K units at the time. Ford Explorer was 428K. That same year, Toyota 4Runner was at 124K. Today, Jeep Grand Cherokee sells at 224K, Ford at 250K, while 4Runner is at 139K which is celebrating their best ever year for sales

Like everything American, the domestic market share keeps eroding.

yeah but not sure why camo would include a weird front bump on the top of the hood front... to me that means it may look like a mazda cx-9 front which i'm not a fan of.

It can include anything at all, I wouldnt anticipate some weird bump up there just because of this camo.
