This may sound like a VERY odd comparison. And I suppose it is. I am currently a GC owner and this is my 4th one. I am a HUGE JEEP fan and I have never had a bad truck. The revealed the new GC at the NY auto Show and it seems VERY promising. With all new features including Adaptive Cruise Control, blind spot warnings and Front accident warning system. In short they have tried to return to GRAND of Grand Cherokee and it looks like they have made all of the right moves in that direction. Look like they have corrected all of the minor complaints I have about the current model (lack of back seat room and lack of adequate advanced safety features, somewhat spartan or plasticy interior etc.....) It seems to have all of the things on my prerequiste list that I have wanted for a new car and will come out about the same time as the Model S. This will be an interesting show down for me to go through. I real clash of my morals and desires. I would love to be more green but I have some practical things to consider too like towing my boat and getting through the snow no matter how deep. For my job I am considered "essential personnel" so I MUST go to work ESPECIALLY when the weather is bad. Model S lacking AWD will be a big down fall for me but I can not afford to have 2 vehicles. Also has the big panaramic glass roof and probably cost less than the Model S and a larger screen in the front - but not 17". I really have to say that this is a VERY unexpected choice. I had not expected Jeep to step up to my current demands and it looks like they may have done it. More cargo room and all.
