Kilimanjaro any time soon so that type of performance isn't really a deal breaker.

Chances are we'll find ourselves in a 2015 RX 350 AWD once we make the move from AZ to VA in September. Maybe even wait for the Dec to Remember sales event.....either way I'm sure you see me post in the "2015 below invoice" thread. Only thing that may screw us up is the debut of the 2016 Nissan Titan. We bought the 04 new (great truck) and have been waiting for the redesign ever since.

Jeep will still be part of the family since the 2011 IS350 AWD will be making an exit this year for the 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Hydro Blue.....very sharp.

Thanks for all the input, lots of great experience here.
Why the Grand Cherokee came up for a bit of comparison in the Africa scenario, is mainly if it still has the tendency to bin its drivetrain by way of diff and tranny problems, one should reconsider it, even on paved surfaces.

Even after 14 years of owning Lexus vehicles, my understanding of the loaner policy is still vague.
I had a loaner for all complimentary and warranty work. Other than that, I rarely have to visit a dealership.

Regarding loaners, i think it really depends on your relationship with the dealership.
I always get a loaner everytime.
I normally book online and check the box for a loaner.

The service department gives me a call in 1-2 hours to confirm if they can accomodate my request.
So far, they always deliver.

Jeep fires, hacking issues, and now this. It's a Jeep thing!
