Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk: 0-60 In 2.7 Seconds, $79,999?

Did you guys think the cars we are on this very forum about would have lasted this long 40+ years ago? From everything I've heard about the late 70's early 80's, A bodies and a lot of other muscle cars were "pretty disposable" and many were scrapped... I guess what I'm trying to say is time will tell if the cars being produced now will last or not :)

The 6.1 SRT jeep I seen in person run down the track was pretty mean. It will be interesting to see a jeep with a hellcat for sure.

As a dealership mechanic in recent years, I can tell you these newer cars are all plastic junk in comparison to anything made before about 1980. Some of the GM cars needed repairs right off the pregnant truck even before they could be put on the lot for sale when I worked for the local chevy dealer in the early 90s. They are all held together with clips and speed nuts. Nine times out of ten when trim is removed, it breaks......when it's NEW. I expect that with a 40 plus year old piece.

The funny thing is, I can remove all the trim on my 40 year old truck without breaking a thing.....and have.
