Pfftt, 'nothing else like'... yeah, because actual performance SUVs don't suck anywhere near as bad. For that kind of money you'd be far better off buying an actual performance vehicle from an actual performance company like Porsche. Not just a tarted up Jeep. Don't get me wrong, Jeeps are fine things, but this is a joke.
That's a joke. The Trailhawk trim is supposed to be for off-road use and I didn't even see any tow hooks included, you couldn't lock any of the differentials and it didn't mention increased ground clearance or all terrain tires. By the way, who in the heck thinks it is a good idea to make a 180 mph jeep because I think the very notion is daft.
