They are bringing back the Cherokee? I almost have to assume the article is referring to the Grand Cherokee platform which by-the-way, is a unibody structure (think crossover) which would be the only way I would consider continuing the Durango a sensible move. Fuel efficient, compact cars are just fine but it's a simple fact that they are too small to carry a family so there are folks who have a real need for a larger vehicle. What the Grand Cherokee/Durango need is a highly fuel efficient V6 that is built to the same standards as Chrysler's HEMI engines. A combination of silky smoothness without the gluttonous thirst of the current V8's. Did I read that right… They are bringing back the Cherokee?

I don't think you have a bad idea there...just timing for a diesel SUV isn't good right now shouldn't they concentrate on pumping out compact cars with better fuel-efficiency before they jump into diesels and diesel hybrids… I don't think you have a bad idea there…just timing for a diesel SUV isn't good right now

The Durango should wind up smaller and the 300/Charger should get better fuel efficiency along with much improved interiors. I feel like we should let Chrysler do what it does best...and that is create new technologies and awe-inspiring looks while proving everyone else wrong.
