Search is your friend. The above page has the changes for 2008.
 
And as a bonus it won't get my post deleted

I will never get why people reply "use google", "search is your friend", "why do you want to do that". If you don't know the answer then don't reply. I already spent some time searching and then I thought the answer will probably be better from an actual owner.
I am looking for a comprehensive comparisons between the two nav systems. One is hard drive based, the other is not, what else? I have seen nav systems that all they do is nav and I have seen some that will give you info about the car, control the temperature, etc.
 
So I want to know, is it worth spending the money on an 08 with nav if nav is a very important feature to me? or will the 07 with nav do just fine for me?

There is a very good website that is dedicated only to the WK Jeep. When I was buying, I found it by searching on google. My previous post got deleted, so I won't mention the site again.
 
Only you can decide if it's worth it or not. For me it was.
 
MyGig navigation and bluetooth is very cool (and free at the moment due to a Jeep promotion). The hard drive should be faster than the DVD version. Plus you can upload your own songs. However, I never used the 07 Navi.
 
The HID lights were a must for me, so the 07 was not even an option. For you the lights might not be as important.
 
The interior is supposed to be nicer in the 08s than in the 07s. I didn't see the 07, but I quite like the 08.
 
Finally, I got the new generation 4.7L, which is more powerful and more efficient than the 07.
 
For me, it was a no brainer decision to go with the 08. For you? I have no idea. You can't go wrong either way.

Thanks for the reply, much more helpful
 
Does the bluetooth (the other must have feature for me) interact with the navigation screen at all?
Is the 4.7L e85 always or do you have to request it like that? On the old jeep I think you had the option for it not to be e85 at no cost which I never understood why wouldn't you want it to also do e85 if it was the same cost.

As I found out the hard way, the E85 option is not available in all states. Very very small print on the Jeep website says that "* Flexible-fuel engine not available in CA, VT, NY, MA, ME, RI, CT and PA. " I'm in CA. It's standard in the rest of the states.
 
Yes, the bluetooth interacts with the navigation screen. When you look up POI, it has an option to call. Is that what you meant?

Wow thats odd, I'll have to make sure I don't buy the car in any of those states.
 
I guess now I have to read to see what people have been getting as price for the limited trim with nav, towing, 4x4. I am hoping to get it close to invoice before the rebates, we'll see.

Grand Cherokee brake problems by 05rubisahara

I am strongly considering a 2008 GC Limited. However, I know that they have had a long running problem with front brake rotors warping. Does anyone know if this problem still exists?

That's exactly the car I factory ordered. I got invoice minus $3000 rebates and free MyGig. Several dealers were willing to match that price and there was no trade involved.
 
I've heard of several people in other forums (which shall not be mentioned here for $500 under invoice.

The latest brake recall didn't affect the 08s. And it was just b/c some rotors were manufactured with weak materials. As far as I know there was no warping involved in the recall.
